playing this right after death come true, another FMV mystery game, was a blast and a blessing. it's not solely budget, but the acting, tone and writing of this game just were so much better
i did got bored at certain moments, and there's a certain chapter where the core gameplay changed quite a bit, but the plot twists and the melodramatic flair of the scene quickly won me over again. i actually presented wrong hypothesis sometimes just to see the scenes they recorded for it, the tanuki one had me laughing out loud

and that epilogue chapter, man, just chef's kiss
