How it feels

A leisurely, whimsical murder mystery with a surreal, humorous tone, driven by puzzle solving and narrative exploration.

What players say

Players praise the charming art style, British humour, clever puns, and great voice acting. It is a short point-and-click at around 3 to 6 hours. Some players find the auto-save frustrating because there is no way to replay chapters, forcing a full restart if they get stuck without a needed item.
