A delightful deductive narrative experience. All of the characters are more or less well written, the VA work (as little as there is) attributes a different accent to a character based on where they were born, which was a nice addition and helped breathe life into the 2D cardboard cutouts floating around.

The main attraction is obviously the clue and collectible search. You get to travel around a vast world, solve very simple puzzles and basically create your own narrative with what you find. The game invites you to explore every nook and cranny, because you never know if there's gonna be a key item there or a useless collectible (until you memorize the sprites).

From the mystery side of things, there's some stones left unturned even if you got all the clues. Not getting into any spoilers, since everyone needs to experience this game blindly, but I wasn't left entirely satisfied, since there were some contradictions with the suspect stories and the evidence collected, that I didn't get an explanation to (must have chosen them during the trials I guess, but it's not a good way to do that).

Overall, spankin good game, enjoyed basically everything and it's brimming with it's own style and world.
