I simply cannot believe this game is a year old. This literally feels like it came out a month ago. It has always been on my radar as it genuinely looks like a good game, and I love visual novels too.

Brief Description
You take the perspective of a little purple dude who just started their job on a train. The conductor who hired you is retiring. It is Amy's birthday and she is have a fake murder mystery party. The sonic cast all attends and they are given different lore roles (Shadow is "the locksmith", Espio is "the poet", Tails is the "detective", Knuckles is "the cowboy", etc.). The game is a visual novel where you progress to find out more about what happened and who "killed(?)" Sonic. It has "Think" minigames during interrogation scenes, where you aim to collect a certain amount of rings. There are also dialogue choices (kinda linear, which is fine). That's the gist.

Pros
-Really appealing art style. You do not know how many screenshots I took of still frames, haha. As an artist myself, I absolutely love seeing all the characters and backgrounds.
-The dialogue is very well-written and extremely charming. Not too corny for the average Joe. Good for all ages in my opinion
-I'm such a big fan of investigative visual novels. Reminds me of Danganronpa and potentially Ace Attorney.
-This visual novel has gameplay! I really appreciate that and opens it up to a lot of different audiences. Some people do not just want to read.
-Nice little references to the sonic lore.
-Well thought out "aha!" moments

Cons
-Literally none. It was what it wanted to be perfectly.

I am happy to have played this neat little game. Very enjoyable!
