What players say

Players are split on this detective game. Many praise the deduction puzzles and time-based clue system, but some find the string-connecting mechanic clunky and note that optimal play means skipping days to solve cases. The game is short, around 4-6 hours, with heavy text and a focus on daemons from Greek mythology.
