How it feels

A deliberate and immersive detective experience focused on clue gathering, suspect interrogation, and solving murder cases through careful observation and puzzle-solving.

What players say

Players see it as a basic detective game that leans heavily on hidden-object searches, with many finding the item-hunting tedious and disconnected from the story. The game has five cases and a low price, but reviews consistently note a lack of polish: translation errors, forced puzzles that cannot be skipped, no save feature, and comparisons to Phoenix Wright that are unfavorable.
