« C'était chouette, jolies animations et jolis ost, personnages intéressants et histoire sympa à suivre, les puzzles étaient cool :) »👍 anonymous review · Nov 2023 · 9 h played1« adored the art style and atmosphere of the game. the characters are super likeable and funny. shame about the ending tho :/ »👍 anonymous review · Jul 2026 · 7 h played1« This is an excellent game with stunning animation, beautifully crafted characters, and immersive environments. The attention to detail throughout makes it a truly enjoyable experience! »👍 anonymous review · Jul 2026 · 7 h played1« Jeu en promo qui vaut le coup. Un air de Professeur Layton (énigmes à résoudre et discussions avec les suspects) mais avec une atmosphère gothique avec un poil d'humour. »👍 anonymous review · Sep 2024 · 6 h played« Une enquête plutôt sympa dans de jolis décors et servi par des personnages bien doublés. Le jeu se laisse agréablement parcourir du début à la fin. »👍 anonymous review · Nov 2024 · 6 h played« Possibly the best investigation game to date. The writing is incredible and everything from the character design to the plot itself is delightful. A great experience, accessible to anybody, very fun and very well-crafted! »👍 anonymous review · Jan 2023 · 10 h played
« What a great game. I love the art style, the characters, music, plot, everything. It's a very charming detective adventure with fun puzzles. Crazy that I had to give this a thumbs down, but that's how bad the ending is. »👎 anonymous review · Jan 2026 · 8 h played1« So i think the dialogue was great... just kind of fell apart at the end.. The villians motive was... confusing. Really confusing. Great music. Kind of rambling ending. »👎 anonymous review · Jun 2026 · 10 h played1« Le jeu est sympa et prenant, puis sur la fin patatras. J'ai fini avec plus de questions que de réponses, rien compris aux motivations du coupable, c'est totalement flou. Pas top pour un jeu de détective. »👎 anonymous review · Apr 2026 · 6 h played« Cool characters and settings. But the near the end of the game, things did not make sense and was rushed. The ending is absolutely criminal. Plot holes and characters' motives not making sense. It leaves a bad taste in your month »👎 anonymous review · Aug 2026 · 8 h played« Good art with a number fun little puzzles and simple deductions. Starts to ramp up towards something intriguing during the latter half but then quickly ends with the different mysteries in the game explained in an unsatisfying way. »👎 anonymous review · Jan 2026 · 4 h played« Great mystery. Delightful artstyle and voice acting. Music is fantastic. Will play the next one ! »👍 anonymous review · Aug 2026 · 6 h played
