Another game with a neat aesthetic and concept that just didn't really do it for me. The investigations are unsatisfying -- you don't even look at the clues yourself, you just hold down a mouse button and then you've "looked" at them and have the information on your corkboard. A lot of the stories seem random and unrelated to the "main" plot of solving the mystery, which is fine -- can't expect every passenger to be relevant -- but I'd go multiple nights where I'd have one relevant thing happen, and the rest was just riding around. Combined with some frankly absurd characters (driving around a bunch of people cosplaying as Power Rangers was funny and arguably could happen, but picking up a cat and taking it to a train station because it's owner cuddled it too much was too much), and it just didn't really gel with me. Neat concept, but I just didn't dig the execution.
