How it feels
A methodical, noir-tinged investigation where switching between characters' viewpoints feels like piecing together a dark conspiracy through constrained, stylized clues.

What players say
Players praise the unique world building and hand-drawn art, but call the game very short, around one to two hours, with only three cases. The detective work is mostly pixel hunting with no tutorials, and many find the ending unsatisfying. Several reviewers compare it unfavorably to The Golden Idol, saying it has less content for a higher price.
