« Bon jeu d'enquête ! Les 5h nécessaires pour le finir une 1ere fois passent rapidement. Petit coup de cœur pour les visuels et l'humour de certains dialogues. Ce petit village est crédible. »

« Was enjoying it until the game crashed with an error after mindsurfing the dog. Can't load my save file. There's no multiple save files, so, once it errored, you lose all your gameplay. Can't recommend »

« Unique mystery game, doesn't quite stick the landing in terms of deduction skills. I may be bitter, but the game tells you things falsely (specifically on the strength required for a murder), that is not accurate »
