yeah this ain't it chief. not for me1 found this helpful
Extremely generic. I suppose it's the devs first game ever. The writing is genuinely fan fiction tier. With the most cardboard cutout AI written dialogue and characters. It's just hard to care about anything that's going on when the overall writing is this bad. And the gameplay is very generic linear "go to A then go to B, click there, then click there." no real thinking, nothing. Just a badly written visual novel that acts like it's a video game
it's ok. i stopped after my first ending ([spoiler]throwing away the mask[/spoiler]), but it was a decent, short experience. it never really gripped me, but it's a decent buy if on sale. i don't think it really shines in any particular area, and you're not really punished that hard for progressing in the "bad" way (e.g. sometimes, i couldn't figure out how to solve something peacefully, so i'd do the shady option like shooting the lock in the police department, and it didn't really feel like that ended up mattering)
I fell in love with this game it's about detective woman named Ito, that goes really trough a lot of hardships Reina, her own husband and other lurking dangers of the mask that plays with your sanity.

Set within the shadowy streets and hidden corners of modern Tokyo, the game follows Detective Ayami Ito as she investigates the disappearance of her partner after a traumatic and mysterious incident. What initially appears to be a standard criminal investigation slowly transforms into a disturbing journey through paranoia, guilt, and psychological collapse. The game’s strongest quality is how effectively it balances grounded detective work with unsettling supernatural elements, constantly leaving players uncertain about what is real and what may exist only within Ayami’s fragile mental state. From the beginning, Tokyo Dark establishes a heavy and oppressive tone. The city itself feels cold, lonely, and filled with hidden dangers lurking beneath its bright neon lights. Players travel through train stations, back alleys, bars, shrines, abandoned buildings, and underground locations that gradually reveal increasingly disturbing secrets. The environments are carefully designed to create discomfort without relying on non…
