What players say

Players call this a faithful homage to Famicom-era command-based detective games like Portopia and Famicom Detective Club. The mystery involves a pearl industry conspiracy, and the streamlined verb system keeps progression simple, though some find the plot falls flat in places. A handful note broken achievements and minor translation errors, but most find it a charming, short nostalgia trip.
