What players say

Players say it is a very short hidden-object game with too much reading and repetitive scenes. The story is praised because it follows the novel, but the gameplay is monotonous, with simple puzzles and lots of backtracking, and there is no voice acting. Some note the hint system is unhelpful and objects are hard to spot, while a few report the game changes desktop resolution like a mobile port.
