I recommend this game and disagree with some of the complaints about the way inventory is handled and how much backtracking you have to do. I have my own complaints though.

The way this game is set up is not intuitive at all. You don’t ever interact with your environment, you collect evidence/items and present them to people to get information. In one case I got a tool to get logs from some computers, There was no computer screen that popped up or anything, I just got weirdly abstract icons in my inventory that had the information I needed in the description. Some beeping or download icons on the computer screen would’ve been nice. This is all fine, just strange.

Coming from Lacuna, I was very happy to see they kept the high-stakes setup with only auto-saves and case decisions being permanent, even if you get them wrong. I do think the developers are being a bit obnoxious with not having an option to turn that off, the way they have an option to turn off timers. All that’s doing is driving people who want to savescum into their game folders to copy out saves. Or just making people hate the game. I wouldn’t use the options because I hate myself and need to suffer, but they should be available.

I really liked that I could pull the trigger on completing a case immediately with no evidence if I wanted to. Deciding *when* to complete a case was as much fun as solving the case,

There is a space cat in the game.

Regarding the complaints about inventory: Yes, this game does not have a good inventory system. There is no sorting or labeling. The dev’s solution to inventory pileup is a series of filters you can cycle through to bring up different types of items, like profiles of people, locations, documents, or whatever. This worked better than I expected it to and was perfectly adequate for the size of your inventory even at the end- game. Not the best, but adequate.

As far as backtracking goes, yes, the game can turn into a whole lot of annoying walking back and forth if you let it (I let it for a while). Trying to collect all the evidence in the game was miserable. Trying to collect *enough* evidence was a thrill ride.

The cases themselves were wonderful, another rare detective game that doesn’t resort to unhinged deductions that nobody would ever make for later cases. I think my only issue was during my first case, I didn’t know how deep the rabbit hole went, and if I should expect to be double or tripled crossed or whatever. Once I got a feel for how treacherous the devs were being, I had a great time.

Recommended with the caveat that this is NOT super friendly to people with ADHD or who don't like replaying a game. I thought i had the solution a couple times but it turned out to be a coinflip that i got wrong. Still, the world is great, the writing is good, and the gameplay is solid. It is a hardcore mode only game, which i think is its biggest flaw. Let people savescum. It's an accessibility issue.

中文配音太棒了，目前听到最出色的中配之一！
Chinese Voice Casting is absolutely magnificent!

解密有些过于晦涩，配乐相比Lacuna也不够出彩。美术仍然很吸引人，但沉浸感被难以操作的UI和解密的节奏打断很多。希望NPC能对我出示的证据有更多回应，即使我出示的是错误的。实际上，有很多我觉得相关的、NPC至少有些话可讲的证据，NPC都不予回复。这点相当有损沉浸感。

主角很可爱，场景挺好看的，配音也不错，但这作摄像机比Lacuna还要反人类，晃动晕得不行，UI也是继承了上一作的布施人，导致整体特别晕，跑一会就头痛起来，玩不下去一点。制作组完全沉浸在了自己的艺术里。也许会再找时间打完吧。

This game is a nice short afternoon game but it's really quite enthralling.

It started out strong, but somehow lost me along the way. I took a break for a couple of days and couldn’t bring myself to play again afterwards.

I think it's because exploration started to feel tedious after a while and the UI where you put together evidence and look at information is very clunky. The story also became increasingly hard to believe. The people there are essentially living in utopia and every reason given so far for [spoiler]the unrest feels really constructed and easily solvable. When you look at the conditions people on our world sometimes live in without revolting, it's hard to believe this happening here.[/spoiler]

I liked the puzzles though, you have to really use your brain and pay attention to get things right.

This game was really great. The UI for navigating clues and the map is a bit clunky. Maybe would be too obvious but would be nice if it could filter the list of clues when showing them to people to only ones they respond to, maybe too cheaty though. The overall narrative and setting was great, really lets you get into the role of the character. I really enjoyed the ending and how it seemed to fit the decisions I made through the story.

This is a fantastic game, interesting story and riddles, and it's just as great as their previous title (Lacuna).
Everyone should play it, especially people called Eyal.
