A moody hidden-object mystery with a noir-tinged, serpentine atmosphere and a gentle but persistent sense of unease.

What players say

Players describe a short and easy hidden-object game with simple puzzles and dated visuals. Many find the voice acting and story laughably bad but charming, and note an unusual clue-reconstruction mechanic. Some players find the hidden object scenes too simple.
