Y’ know what this reminded me of? Layton’s Mystery Journey.

Not only because the protagonist is a detestable know-it-all who’s constantly condescending to their assistants, not only because it’s a spiritual successor to some of the finest mystery visual novels on the Nintendo DS, with sprinkles of that brilliance hindered by wasted potential in the gameplay’s structure (or lack thereof in here); but also an abrupt cliffhanger ending that depressingly crumbles the whole thing down with the devastating realisation that said teaser would never have its follow-up to answer such questions.

… at least for what it’s worth, the story was intriguing up until those final 2 minutes, and the soundtrack is a slapper.
