How it feels
As a detective and folklorist, you explore a neon-lit 1980s noir city, solving occult crimes while grappling with a tense, romantic partnership.

What players say
Players praise the chemistry between the two leads and the bittersweet 1980s romance, but opinions split on the mystery: some find the ending unresolved and the case predictable. The gameplay is minimal, just clicking for clues, and the short length (under two hours) offers no replay value.
