I really love mystery/detective adventures, and I'm perfectly fine with the visual novel format, as long as the story is engaging with fun, interesting characters. Unfortunately, we don't have any of those here...

I'm not familiar with this franchise, this is the only installment I've played, but it didn't convince me I should try the rest. The puzzles are quite boring, the cases are extremely easy to solve, and all the back and forths between the same locations almost drove me crazy. The first chapter was sort of OK, I guess, but I almost fell asleep during the others. And the English localization... Wow, I don't know what went wrong there, but many of the dialogues don't make sense at all, there are typos and mistranslations, even some grammar issues (and you know it's bad if even a non-native speaker notices them). The music is bland and repetitive, and I wasn't a huge fan of the strange, semi-realistic backgrounds which looked like extremely blurred photos.

But at least it's short.
