❤ Engaging Investigation Sequences

Players can explore various locations within the secluded mountain resort, clicking on objects to gather clues and evidence. This investigation mechanic closely resembles the gameplay of the Phoenix Wright series, allowing players to uncover key information at their own pace. Reviewers appreciate how these scenes feel interactive, rather than merely passive reading.

❤ Logical Interrogation and Accusation

When questioning the ten friends trapped together, players must present relevant evidence to support their deductions about the culprit's identity. The game does not provide obvious solutions, challenging players to logically piece together the mystery using the information gathered. Reviewers highlight the satisfying feeling of making the right accusations and backing them up convincingly.

❤ Impactful Player Choices

The protagonist's "Detective Rank" is influenced by the player's choices, which can also alter the story's progression and unlock additional content. Reviewers note that their decisions feel meaningful, with the potential to even save a life in certain circumstances. This sense of agency within the mystery-solving process is a key draw.

❤ Intuitive User Interface Design

The game provides players with helpful tools, including character profiles, a diary summarizing events, and a notebook tracking evidence and information. Reviewers praise the seamless integration of these various elements, allowing for better organization of the complex mystery.

❤ Well-Paced Narrative

While the initial pacing may feel slow to some, reviewers agree that the overall flow of new revelations and mysteries is well-executed. At 8-10 hours of playtime, the length is viewed as appropriate, providing a substantive experience without overstaying its welcome.
