I was intrigued by the idea of four individual episodes giving the master detectives a little more screen time and interaction, perhaps with a short mystery involving their fortes but... even by my low standards, this is just not good. And for $4 it's practically criminal.
There's no real mystery here, no real gameplay, just a short linear quest with some visual novel segments and cutscenes. The whole thing is done in under an hour and really offers nothing particularly interesting or appealing outside of a couple fun lines of dialogue and a quirky "interview" sequence.
I also felt the main game did a decent enough job balancing Desuhiko's annoying traits without making him too unbearable, but he is truly in full force here with nothing to bounce off of and nobody to stop him. It's all not great (outside of the moments where he interacts with Yakou, who consistently remains one of the best parts of the game), but there is one interaction in particular during this DLC that is the absolute pits of his character.
The best thing I can say is that it retains the production values of the main game, featuring a couple fully mocapped cutscenes, and it is mostly voiced. I hope they really step it up for Fubuki's episode.

No wonder no one made a crack of this it's kinda ass
Desuhiko was already the worst character in the game (with his weak dub performance not helping imo), but this time there's no one to apply the brakes to his unfunny one-dimensional train of thought.
Storyline is unimpressive, no mystery, little to no gameplay/interaction, only new visuals are two character models, didn't make me laugh, and he makes a pass at two unsupervised children.
