Intense disappointment. When comparing to Danganronpa, there's still interesting murder mysteries to solve, but the characters are less interesting, there's significantly more "play minigame to solve case", and a lack of a strong beginning hook.

Also, to say it's a technical dumpster fire is an understatement. Sub native render resolutions for some parts of the scene, frame rate is constantly around 20, the usage of Unreal's graphical effects look terrible for the obvious toll it's taking on the frame rate, awkward loads, awful rumbles.

I don't understand how this title was only released on switch in 2023, and I don't understand how it's this terrible technically when AI: The Somnium Files was developed under the same roof(?) and is an incredible experience.

Besides me disagreeing with the AI comment, I agree with other stuff. It does run poorly and the labyrinths arent nearly as fun as the trials
