The concept is really cool, but the controls were not the best. I kept clicking where I wanted too move to and the game registered that I was clicking trees or roofs. The wound attack only worked a few times and I mostly used the Distraction to get setup for the finisher. It would be nice to be able to see the enemies detection zones at least a little, as well as the range for my attacks. I would input the finisher and Jin would either slide across the floor to the enemy to hit them, or he would slash from really far away and they would just die, it felt very inconsistent. I have the core rulebook and I ordered the world book and the Shadow and Steel module for the tabletop version so I am invested in the Katana Ra title, I think with a little love this game has a lot of potential. I am saying do not recommend for right now though because the controls feel so clunky that I do not want to play it again until it gets an update

About This Game
Gameplay
You have 8 hours. The game plays out in real-time and from your start at night on the outskirts of the Clan Kata village, to 8 hours later when dawn breaks - you need to find and decipher the clues that will lead to your discovery of the real murderer responsible. You can choose to play in full stealth mode or mix in action combat when you want. Beware though, death has consequences. Dying advances time while your soul resurrects, so pick your fights carefully - and make sure you win.The Detective Shinobi
The game happens entirely in one complex, multi-tiered level of vertical and horizontal traversal. You will need to explore outdoor and indoor areas to find clues. Using your Shinobi Sense, you will find areas of interest, then explore them to uncover the truths you need. Pick up things you find in the village to craft items you need and pay attention to noise and events throughout the night as you head to your inevitable conclusion - or demise.From the Developer
