An adventure game in the genre of mystical detective. Student Kris is on the trail of the killer. Every decision has consequences, and every wish may be the last.
The game's core gameplay revolves around the player making narrative choices that impact the story and outcome. Reviews indicate that while the dialogue choices in the first episode don't drastically alter the major narrative flow, the game promises more impactful branching paths and multiple endings as the story progresses through future episodes. Players can expect their decisions to have meaningful effects on the unfolding of the mystery plot and the fate of the protagonist, Kristina.
As a "mystical detective" adventure, the game encourages players to explore the environment, gather clues, and unravel the mystery at the heart of the story. Reviewers highlight the ability to read character correspondences and utilize a "cabinet of thoughts" to delve into Kristina's inner world and perspectives. This combination of environmental exploration and information-gathering appears to be a core loop of the gameplay.
In addition to the narrative choices and investigative exploration, the game features various minigames and mechanics to complement the experience. Reviewers mention "mindfulness" and "reaction" minigames that help players engage with the story on a more interactive level, integrating these supplementary gameplay elements to enhance the immersion and involvement of the player within the world and events of the narrative.
While the gameplay itself is heavily narrative-driven, reviewers highlight the atmospheric and presentational elements as a strength. The game is praised for its minimalistic 3D graphics, atmospheric original soundtrack, and full voice acting (in Russian). These production values contribute to the overall immersive experience of the game's dark, mystical detective story.
