The character designs, music, limited voice acting, and general island paradise aesthetics made me feel like I was exploring a lux and hip tropical vacation spot. They stood out as something I haven't encountered in a game before, and I thoroughly enjoyed the vibes of the island as I traversed it. Still listening to the music after beating it. The game play is largely open-world exploration and collecting clues and items, without any invisible walls. The playspace is contained to the relatively small island, so exploring isn't overwhelming, and I never found myself getting lost or having to back-track for an extended period. That plus unlockable fast-travel made movement extremely easy. Though small, the island is dense with unique, creatives structures and and art, making it a joy to explore. Plus there are secrets, clues, and currency hidden in cracks and crevices all over, so the game rewarded me for thorough searching. The mystery is fun as well, unfolding through a gameplay loop of searching for clues, talking to suspects about what you find, and then talking to other suspects about what each other said. Repeat. And the mystery has some excellent twists to uncover alternative. The game is relatively short, only 10-15 hours at the max. An enjoyable romp.
