What Steam players say
Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
Overall, it was very okay. Gameplay wise it was very repetitive. Basically, the game has six chapters of 2 to 3 hours in length where you will search and read posts about the case online, and then investigate the area of interest 3 times. You'll use the info you find to answer multiple choice questions or fill-in-the-blank puzzles. This is basically the gameplay loop for the entire 20 or more hours you will be playing the game if you do so to completion. No other new minigames or ways to solve the mystery come later. Hence the game can feeling like a drag at times. The story, art, and music, are the main reasons I had fun, and continued playing because even though the gameplay can become really boring; everything else is hype and tubular. The episode to episode stories are very fun to go through, and ties into the very intriguing overarching plot. So for me personally I give it a 8/10 in hindsight, but a 6/10 actually playing it. In conclusion, if gameplay is really important for your enjoyment of a game, then maybe wait for sale or watch a youtuber play it for the story 'n stuff.
Although the premise and overall story is quite a good impression. but a lot of plot holes are unresolved
It's a fully linear visual novel. Don't expect gameplay. The story was good though. If you're into urban legends and are Japanese, you will probably enjoy it. And if you're not Japanese? Who knows.
not that bad but nothing special or amazing. the cases were all easily predictable w repetitive gameplay and the only interesting thing was the final twist. ig this series was intentionally built like a 12 episode anime bc that's how it plays, the vibes were nice overall tho
案件白開水，演出節奏初嚐精緻，到了第二章就開始覺得很拖沓。而且每一章走向都差不多，搞得我玩完第四章後放著遊戲一年沒開，直到最近臨時想起來便打開來打到結局。 結局很酷，但也屬於那種反思後到處都說不通的五味雜陳感。 不過演出精緻，推到讓人當下有一種WOW的感覺勉強給過吧。
Chef's. ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. Kiss. This is an awesome little detective story, played this every night before bed for a week straight like it was a good book I couldn't put down. I wouldn't be shocked at all if we see an Anime spin-off of this 10+ years from now like Steins;Gate.
