You piece together crimes by listening to audio snippets from the past, feeling like a detective in a quiet, tense investigation where trust is uncertain.

What players say
Players praise the unique audio-based detective concept and find solving cases rewarding without hand holding. However, many criticize the short 5-level campaign, weak English voice acting, and the need for external notes. Opinions split on the writing, with some finding the plot engaging and others calling it cheesy.
