How it feels
A focused, methodical detective game where you sit at a single screen, sorting through evidence and documents to slowly unravel a human drama.

What players say
Players call this a short deduction puzzle with strong music and an emotional story about two musicians. It borrows from Return of the Obra Dinn's check-in-fives mechanic. Many note the lack of subtitles and uneven sound mixing as real drawbacks, especially for an audio-heavy game.
