How it feels

A tense, darkly comic visual novel where solving murders under a cheerful facade feels like a high-stakes detective game.

What players say

Players praise the cast and class trials as improvements over the first game, but some find the opening slow and the fan service off-putting. Opinions split on whether it tops the original, and a few call the ending divisive.
