How it feels

A text-based detective adventure where middle school gossip and petty thefts feel like high-stakes cases, driven by reader choices and moral trade-offs.

What players say

Players enjoy the writing and characters, but find the game short and the mysteries too simple. The plot is linear with little impact from choices, and many want more content.
