A game based on a simple concept: a mystery puzzle you can complete in an hour. Can you solve the cases narrated in this beautiful pixel-art adventure?
Players take on the role of Detective Wakaido, exploring crime scenes, interrogating witnesses and suspects, and collecting clues that are stored in their notebook. The game's interface makes this process straightforward, allowing players to easily access and utilize the gathered evidence.
Each of the four cases presents a self-contained mystery, with players progressing through a series of dialogue choices and investigative phases. The well-written stories, inspired by 1980s Japan and the insurgence of religious cults, a rural village haunted by missing people, a murder accusation against the detective, and a supernatural presence in a mansion, keep players engaged and invested in unraveling the twists and turns.
According to user reviews, the game strikes a balance between challenge and accessibility. While the puzzles and deduction segments may not be overly complex, they still require players to pay attention to the clues and carefully consider their answers. The game provides sufficient guidance, ensuring an enjoyable experience for both casual and more experienced mystery enthusiasts.
Many players have praised the way the game brings each case to a satisfying conclusion. The final deduction phase, where players must piece together the right clues to answer the key questions, provides a sense of accomplishment and closure to the investigation.
