A slow, investigative experience where you sift through documents and navigate a map to piece together a historical espionage story as a detached observer.

What players say
Players praise the story and art but note the gameplay is more like a visual novel with light interactivity. Many say the romance feels forced, the pacing is slow early on, and there is no perfect ending where everyone survives. Some players find the branching endings tedious to collect.
