What players say

Players are split on this Hong Kong-set mystery visual novel. Some praise its Cantonese voice acting and multiple endings, but many criticize the writing as cringe or poorly translated, the protagonist as unlikeable, and the QTE and no-autosave mechanics as frustrating. Its short length and mixed puzzle design draw further debate.
