What players say

Players find this a short BL visual novel set during the Jack the Ripper murders, with a straightforward mystery and sweet PG romance. Opinions split on quality: many call it a fine quick read with likable characters, while some say the mystery and romance are both mediocre. Frequent mentions of typos and a mixed reaction to the art style.
