How it feels

A short, conversation-driven mystery where you explore a confined space, interrogate suspicious classmates, and piece together clues under a tight time limit.

What players say

Players praise the character writing and meta-elements, with many noting the game is packed with game jokes and references. The puzzle difficulty is low, though the block-pushing sections frustrate some. The roughly 10-hour campaign is considered generous for the price. A few reviewers find the multi-loop clue-hunting tedious, and some wish the fast-forward system were smarter.
