How it feels

A slow-burn mystery where you piece together clues by exploring a mansion and talking to its inhabitants, driven by a quiet, tense atmosphere.

What players say

Players explore a manor in a time loop to solve a murder case, but the game feels more like a room escape than a detective story due to weak puzzle connections. The voicework is muffled and lacks subtitles, the UI seems designed for mobile, and progress can be confusing when notes fail to save clues. Many note that the game has been stuck in early access for over two years without updates.
