What players say

Players call it a linear visual novel, more like a book with no branching choices. The detective plot and character writing earn praise. Many note English translations are rough or confusing. The story is dark and centers on a 37-year-old police captain with a romance side. Players who enjoyed it liked the slow unfolding and psychological depth.
