Jan. 2025

The horror and mystery was pretty intriguing, but I did have two issues. I wasn't a fan on Neneko's character, and I wasn't thrilled when the story direction took a turn to a different... genre. But the horror and monster designs were good, and I enjoyed it.

Jan. 2025

The core mystery was genuinely pretty interesting, It was more horror than I expected (I went in thinking it would be mainly a murder mystery). but the translation is really rough, the investigation sequences where you need to click object A and then object A again, but can only interact with it after you've clicked object B are extremely clunky and tedious and Theres a lot of weird ecchi and unnecessary scenes. but i guess the story is pretty good considering its price

Nov. 2024

7\10. Well... mc was fun and I like his stoic character, Neneko and her hikikomori-chan type(like Watamote mc) is also fun, but overall this title is one of the "I'll forget it the next day after reading" vns. Poor presentation, nothing deep, nothing extraordinary, just fine detective with a touch of mystic and horror, but at least not boring to read cuz pacing is good: "straight to business" with rare pauses for little breaks(just like normal detective should be). I was going to give 6\10, but extra was kinda fun and changed my mind a little, so I recommend to check it after main story.

Sept. 2024

Despite its brevity, this visual novel keeps you hooked from start to finish. The story is straightforward yet compelling, and the well-timed music enhances the immersive experience. One of the standout features is the timed decision events, which force you to make quick choices, adding a layer of tension and requiring careful attention to detail. Unlike typical horror-detective games, this one delves into deeper themes, with every character's decision carrying significant weight in the narrative. I highly recommend this game to fans of psychological and mystery visual novels.

June 2024

oh my lord, this game is honestly really amazing. The search-mechanics kind of suck ass, as you need to click things you've already clicked, but the story? 11/10. The Artworks? 11/10. Presumably, this was written with Ren'Py. If that is the case, this is BY FAR the best Ren'Py game I've ever come across.
