a slow, text-driven locked-room mystery that feels like reading a grim detective novel from a bygone era

What players say

Players are split on this adaptation of a classic mystery novel. The puzzle-piece testimony system from games like "尘埃终须落定" gets mixed reactions: some enjoy it, but many find it too linear and monotonous, adding little to the original story. Complaints about slow text speed, a lack of voice acting, and performance issues on the Steam Deck are common, while the art and story are praised.
