How it feels

A tense, dialogue-driven visual novel where you investigate dystopian crimes and navigate moral choices in a quantified society.

What players say

Players are split on this visual novel. Fans of the Psycho-Pass anime get fanservice and fully voiced characters, but even they warn that the story is a filler arc with repetitive routes and choices that barely change anything. A broken skip function makes replays a chore, and some report save bugs that lose progress.
