How it feels
A relaxed but mildly spooky detective game that feels like exploring a cozy, haunted inn while solving puzzles and uncovering secrets.

What players say
Players praise the spooky atmosphere and bento-making mini-game, but are split on the puzzles: many love the nonograms and sudoku, while others find them repetitive and tedious. Criticism consistently targets the Japanese characters' voice acting as poorly accented and dated.
