pretty solid, amazing even, albeit very short then again there seemed to have been news about the sequel in the works a few years ago... anyhow yeah wish there were more games like this one. puzzles felt like a drag at times but well i'm no genius either so it's cool

I enjoy playing this game so much! At first I was befuddled by the mechanics, but the story and especially the writing was enjoyable and intriguing. I am glad to be able to finish this game.

A classic adventure mystery game set in the world of Detective Di. A kind of Chinese Sherlock Holmes subject of some early 20th century English stories and recent subject of several movies and TV shows in the 21st century. With it's nostalgic graphics and classic gameplay this game is like a story you play for yourself.

What a way to be first welcomed into the game by opening up with one of the most beautiful main themes I've ever heard in gaming. I was literally just sitting there in awe, listening to the music for minutes... Graphics are pretty, minimalist, and clean -- it doesn't bombard the screen with more assets than needed. The art style here definitely shines through with the charm of an ancient China setting that was nicely captured. The entire investigation structure was really well done with the "deduction board" layout and the case reenactment sequences, especially the latter giving you the biggest sense of accomplishment after solving a case. Puzzles were enjoyable, though there were times I got stuck on certain areas due to missing additional items/clues. These additional items are oftentimes extremely missable, especially when they're too close to another interactable item. In which here I'd suggest to implement a very subtle "sparkle" effect for vital interactable items/clues, or even a "Hint" button (like what some other point-and-click games do). Dialogue texts were very well written, and that on its own just oozes personality with every character you encounter without the need of any voice acting (which is very hard to pull off, so that says a lot about this game's writing). The way the clues and pieces came together to unveil the bigger picture of the plot has got to be one of the most fulfilling and satisfying stories I've personally experienced in a detective game. I hope the sequel is still in the works; this is too good a potential to not have a full series!

Really really good. Smooth, not too easy neither too hard, just follow the clues, detective. Enjoyed a lot. Today my brain wasn’t focus at all and get a bit stressed with some of the clues, but you just need to focus bc the clues are near the scene u are playing at the moment. Really good. Music and art are awesome too. Great experience.
