A slow, text-based mystery where you unravel lies by using a magical mirror, moving through a historical setting with a calm but determined pace.

What players say

Players praise the art and music but hate the gameplay. The deduction puzzles are not logical, forcing constant guide use. The time limit and save system create harsh backtracking, and the tutorial teaches nothing important.
