Played it for an hour, and in that hour didn't really notice anything worth continuing for.
In terms of gameplay, it's a run-of-the-mill first-person point-&-click affair with occasional horrendous mini-games. I much prefer third-person point-&-click games where you can control where your character goes. This one feels almost like a visual novel, as it just drops you into a room (basically an animated image) and forces you to click everything in sight until you find that one thing that advances the story. Dialogues work in a similar fashion, you have to blindly try out every single dialogue option, hoping you would accidentally hit the one that will be relevant for the story.
Regarding the story, I found it pretty mediocre. I have no doubts it does get more interesting later on, but the beginning was very boring. It's your typical noir-ish cyberpunk-ish set-up with a woman coming to the protagonist who runs a private detective agency and bringing him more trouble than he ever needed. I wish there was one fucking game (or movie/TV show/comic book) where the protagonist refuses to take the case and continues his boring life.
I feel like this game would've worked better as a OVA or whatever you call anime films/TV shows. It seems like something I might enjoy watching while having a dinner, but as a game it's just not fun. And the story doesn't push me to overcome the flaws of the gameplay. I think I might watch a walkthrough of it on YouTube some day, but I dunno.

@SuperCptKuma how are you an inspiring game dev when you can neither read nor count?
Boy, I was playing point-&-click adventure games before you were born. Maybe you should stick to retweeting anime pictures of mutilated and sexually abused women instead of bothering people you don't know.
