How it feels

A gentle, story-driven detective puzzle game where you explore a cartoony mansion, solve clues at your own pace, and follow a mystery with multiple endings.

What players say

Players enjoy the classic murder mystery setup but are split on whether the clunky 3D interactions and mandatory minigames ruin the experience. Many note the English translation is poor, clues are easy to miss, and the game pushes search over deduction.
