"Tokyo Detectives" isn't a game. It looks like an e-book dumped on Steam masquerading as a game, but it's not that either! This is an advert! This is just the "try before you buy" intro to some cringe fan-fiction, and the "author" expects you to pay money for the rest... imagine paying money for someone's high school anime club dropout fan-fiction. Ugh. This is never okay. As an advertisement for a visual novel, this has no notable gameplay. It's just clicking through badly written, cringey fan-fiction tryhard dialogue that wouldn't be accepted in print by any real book publisher. How did such garbage end up on Steam? When failed authors can't get published in print (and possibly laughed at by publishers), they spend $100 to dump their high school fan-fiction e-book onto Steam under the guise of a game... but this time they made the conscious choice to try mislead gamers with this incorrectly published demo. To prove the author of this garbage e-book and corresponding advertisement is abusing the free section of Steam for the purpose of marketing garbage, here's the correct process that [i]the author deliberately did not follow:[/i] https://partner.steamgames.com/doc/store/appl…

Very nice game. One complaint would be sometimes the English is not the best in the subtitles. Other than that i have enjoyed playing so far. I feel like each story to buy the DLC is very reasonably priced.

[h1]Before I played Tokyo Detectives, I had a small pp, no friends, no gf, depression, and no life. These things havent changed, but the game is pretty good[/h1]
