What Steam players say

Pros: 1) More FMV games for the avid fans. 2) Entertaining story. 3) Neat Concept. Cons: 1) Translation needs A LOT of work. 2) Some of the clues didn't logically click or flow in a manner that made sense (had to use a guide). I think this game targets a very niche group (FMV game enthusiasts and those who grew up watching campy Asian films). I feel that only huge fans of the the genre (or native speakers) will overlook the translation issues or the less than ideal game play. There's definitely potential with the company and I hope they take the feedback left by others for future projects. I do hope going forward, they invest in a quality translator or at least someone who is more meticulous about spell-checking typos and weird formatting issues. I wish I could give this a 5 rating instead of a hard yes/no recommend, but considering some of the limitations mentioned above, I can't in good conscience recommend this game to others. For those who just want to enjoy the campy story line and don't mind spending $4, buy the game and play along with a walkthrough guide. Off to test out the sequel.3 found this helpful

Instead of presenting itself as a conventional interactive title filled with branching choices and scripted outcomes, it adopts the structure of a digital investigation tool, placing players in the role of someone piecing together a case through recorded footage, documents, and fragmented evidence. The result is an experience that feels closer to analyzing a real investigation than playing a typical narrative-driven game. The core of the gameplay revolves around observation and interpretation. Players are given access to a simulated database containing interrogation videos, case files, and other materials related to a murder investigation. Progression is not handed out through obvious prompts or guided objectives; instead, it depends on the player’s ability to connect details, identify inconsistencies, and form logical conclusions. This design choice gives the game a strong sense of immersion, as it avoids overt hand-holding and encourages genuine critical thinking. Rather th…2 found this helpful

I loved it. No, i couldn't get through it without a walk through due to poor translation But yes, I loved it The characters are very endearing When it was over i had to explain to my husband what had happened and I was laughing so hard I could hardly even finish

Yo, I thought I would not like this but turns out I did enjoy it. Some parts reminded me of Phoenix Wright (Tiger much?). Obviously, as stated previously by others, the translation was not the greatest but some quality came through and the humour is about there despite it. Might get around to the second one when I can.
