What players say
A dinosaur-era murder mystery prequel to Shinrai. Players who liked that game will find similar strengths, though some feel this one has a faster start while others say it drags. The investigation sequences are engaging, and the character dynamics between the four investigators are a highlight. Players are split on whether the pacing is an improvement or full of filler.
