How it feels
A quiet, methodical investigation into a decades-old tragedy, driven by psychic visions and sparse archival evidence.

What players say
Players praise the free price, unique deduction gameplay and thorough historical research, but split strongly on the story. Many find it a compelling mystery with a clunky interface and weak final act, while a vocal group criticizes the colonial British perspective and shallow treatment of local people. The Chinese translation is widely appreciated.
