encapsulates such a cool vibe with a fantastically realized cast and script. love the plot and mystery.
only wish it wasnt such a slog to play--unfortunately i do not like walking through 10 identical buildings to tick invisible game boxes that let me progress the story. even if its thematically relevant and kind of works with the vibe i had to take so many breaks with this game and i probably wont want to play something set up like this again (rip 25th ward !)

i will say, having just started 25th ward - the gameplay is a lot less cumbersome than the silver case's. even if i enjoyed the silver case's gameplay loop and felt it did actually benefit the storytelling i won't tell you it's /not/ cumbersome by design and i feel for you on that.

i'd check out flower, sun & rain as i think it does the monotonous gameplay loop deliberately in a generally more interesting and creative way... also, it's the actual sequel to this game - 25th ward is the sequel to flower, sun & rain. i could see either one being up your alley a little more than this one.

@zenogias i was kinda under the impression that 25th ward was more of the same or worse ngl, glad its better about it. might consider down the line
BUT i was 100% planning on flower sun and moon even before i knew anything about silver case. partially because its a weird little game i hear a lot of praise in the corners of the internet i look at, and also i just love how it looks and i wanted to dive right in and see what it is completely blind
