Players return to its world not just once, but repeatedly—**47 mentions of *série* (series) and 5 for *trilogie* (trilogy)** hint at how deeply the narrative hooks them into a larger, evolving universe. With 96% of reviews calling it overwhelmingly positive, it’s clear why fans can’t resist diving back in.

What it's about: Un thriller policier givré plein de boucles temporelles et de victimes avec, en plus, un chat plus que louche sorti de l’esprit du créateur de To the Moon & Finding Paradise.
