this game has so many things i truly love!!!! a crude,,,, dark,, murder mystery!! my fav aspect has to be what the creator describes 'psychopop', its a such a nice term already to hear it!!
psychopop is supposed to represent something cutesy clashing yet feeding onto dark cruel factorss, i like to call it crudely playful!! the art style and a lot of the visuals you see are particularly anime, id say the art style goes on a bit of an abstract style but it leans onto cuteness with huge eyes and feminine features on the characters!!! mix that in with the amount of gore and violence and i just love LOVE LOVE that so much!!! psychopop, my beloved!!!!!

im not good with writing reviews, id sum it up with what i said above but quick thoughts on the story and gameplay! i feel the story is extremely solid and surprisingly cute and motivational with its message, the last argument in the game seriously sums up what i think makes this game so special, using their own mechanical medium like that was super fun!!! only thing to complain for the story is how chars and the game overall doesnt touch much on loss, they get over deaths a lil too easy at times?? this is sadly a factor in all three games
the mysteries are extremely well done and thought of, the way the story expands on itself by giving itself rules and limitations to create even more complex mysteries stuns me!!! i also love the ambience throughout the game, and with takada's incredible music its SO GOOOOOOOD

for the gameplay, i think its fairly engaging for a visual novel,,,, the prize being the class trials always made me excited and the class trials are seriously fun!!! fully voice acted word shooting action, i think its super fun!!!!!!

this game'll forever be special
god i cant forget case 2 ;--;
