How it feels
A thoughtful, atmospheric visual novel where you slowly piece together the truth by reading faces and motives in tense criminal interrogations.

What players say
Players praise the novel lie-detection gameplay built around reading facial expressions, calling it a fresh take on detective stories. However, they consistently fault the awkward English translation, a confusing UI, and a story that sets up a sequel without resolving its own mysteries. The difficulty curve is steep, and the pacing drags due to repetitive emotion-check prompts.
