Very clever and fun game, but unfortunately quite short. Play the demo first to see how much you'll enjoy your time with the game. I feel it was worth the full price, but unless you really like logical deduction games you may want to wait for a sale.

this is one of the best investigation/mystery/puzzle games I've ever played. It starts off fairly simple and has a solid difficulty curve but it never holds your hand. Even if you choose to look at the hints, they really are only hints. They don't give you the answer and sometimes are barely enough to get you moving in the right direction. If you can beat the entire game and the DLC without using any hints and without guessing blindly at any point you should look into a career in crime scene investigation. Very rewarding game.

A great deductive reasoning game with fun diorama puzzles and such enjoyably odd art.

One Truth Prevails! This was a fantastic game with memorable characters, art, and a great soundtrack. If you think about things logically, you can figure everything out. All the clues are there in the game. Going back to other chapters is very helpful. There's no flashing lights in the game and you don't need sound in case you're hearing impaired.

A simple but incredibly effective storytelling puzzle game! I'll be starting its sequel expeditiously.

Incredible game. The escalating plot is great. The eerie music and art are very well done. The game is challenging but not overwhelming (looking at you Blue Prince). It is quite short with only 12 chapters but well worth the price. I will surely buy and play all the DLC. Played from start to end on the steam deck. Runs great. Regular controls are alright but can be made even better with some tinkering.
