How it feels
A dialogue-heavy, retro-noir detective story that leans hard into melodrama and dark humour, where your choices navigate a broken investigator's personal and professional turmoil.

What players say
Players praise the narrative and choices that affect the outcome, but some find the melodrama nauseating and the dialogue too lengthy. It is a short game, around 2 to 4 hours, and there is criticism that development stalled and a promised German language version was never delivered.
