This is not a full review yet, as I have been unable to complete the game so far. But I would like to inform other Steam users about the game's many issues. First, let me address what this game does well: The murder case seems fairly elaborate and quite interesting, there are a lot of details to discover. You'll find clues by interrogating suspects and by investigating objects, the latter is implemented in an especially immersive way - for example, you move objects on a desk until you reveal a book, then you open the book to reveal a clue. Lastly, the graphics and environments look nice (even though there's a lot of copy-pasting going on). Now to the things that the game doesn't do well - this will unfortunately be a longer list. 1. The English translation is terrible, to the point where the text is either unintelligible or gives you false information. For a detective game where information matters, this is unacceptable. In every single dialog, I have to guess what the writer actual...

About our studio
We are "Ji Xiang Ru Yi", an independent game studio from Chengdu. There are currently four team members, two planners, one program, and one artist.The inspiration for making this game came from an accidental whim when playing a script to kill. How about turning these evidence-gathering links into actual scenarios? Can you restore every link of the detective's case-solving in a more immersive way?
When I first came up with this idea, every member of the team was very excited. Although everyone had never tried a puzzle-solving game, everyone played Ace Attorney and watched The Kindaichi Case Files grow up.
We spent a lot of time on this product, from project approval to a little bit of implementation, we painfully found that the game we made was quite different from the original imagination. After two or three overthrows and redoes, it finally ended in face is presented before you.
This is not a perfect work, but an exploratory attempt by our studio is an explanation for the small idea at the beginning, the determination to do what it says, and the serious work for so long.
I would like to thank every friend in the studio for their hard work and dedication after countless quarrels; I would like to thank all the classic reasoning games we have played for the inspiration, and I would like to thank all the family members and family members who have helped in the process of making the game. Friends, thanks to all players!

User Reviews
This game is super cute, creative and fun! The English translation is unfortunately awful and really the only thing that is keeping me from playing through the game multiple times. I managed to complete my first attempt in three hours and had a great time, but most of the time I was barely able to comprehend the gist of the story. In the end I wasn't able to catch the killer and it felt more like it was because I didn't understand the mechanics of the clue system OR what anyone was saying! I'm praying the developers hire someone to really iron out the English, at which point I'll definitely start my second attempt!
