It's just sad, I feel this game has failed to live up to its potential. At it's heart, it's meant to be a puzzle game, however the puzzles are easy. Like, REALLY easy. If you're not a person that normally plays puzzle games, then this is game for you. There's typically only 1-3 steps required for you to stop each murder from happening. The hard part is figuring out what you need to do, but you really only need to follow the victims and the culprits throughout the whole day to figure out the entire scene and how you're supposed to act. There are basically no dead ends or clues - everything you pick up you will use. I was honestly expecting that when I save someone, they get killed by something else instead. This mechanism would have added a lot more depth because the player then questions if: a) They need to stop the second murder or b) They need to figure out another way to stop the original murder The characters also aren't that fleshed out. There is a story about the mystery, but the other characters personalities and past aren't really explored beyond the short time you see them from the start of the day till their death. Character animations could also have been improved to be a bit more animated. The style is rather cartoonish but the rigidity of their mouths don't quite match the style. The overall story didn't really surprise me either. Also, the game practically tells you there's a plot twist coming so it's no surprise. Other than that, the art style is great. But the music. It's fantastic! Whomever did the music direction for the game needs an award. It really captures the atmosphere of each are and the music is even carefully timed to match the time of deaths of the characters. All in all, the game is a good attempt, but it could have been much more. I don't fault the developers for releasing it as it is. It would likely have added a year or more of development to improve a unique title like this.
