Ratings and reviews

Fun mystery game! You're a private detective and the game interface is mostly through the detective's phone, and another phone found early on. It's a clever design that keeps things simple/immediately recognizable (no tutorials needed!). Cons: There're a lot of grammatical errors and text threads that are on the brink of nonsense, not because of stylized speech/texting patterns, but either from translation or just bad misses in editing (happy to help in the future/I love what you're doing!).

I'm not too far in, but this game is clever and unique. Puzzles aren't frustratingly difficult but not too easy either. There are some pictures, but most of the game takes place as text messages and I am enjoying the creepy feeling as I read further. Haven't done any of the side trails yet or even the game within the game. Look forward to those.

It's a pretty interesting game, no obnoxious minigames like others of this type. But the text is SO slow with no way to skip, and the way it saves doesn't make sense. I don't have an hour to finish an entire part and closing my app means I have to start the whole slow, agonizing process of clicking through texts again.
