The game's story is a murder mystery that incorporates time travel and features a clairvoyant female detective, praised for its originality and engaging plot twists. However, many players noted gaps in plot logic and an over-complicated narrative that detracted from the overall experience, leading to feelings of confusion and dullness. While the integration of puzzles with the story was well-received, the overall execution was seen as average, making it a decent but not exceptional entry in the genre.
“The story is an engaging murder mystery involving some time travel.”
“It has a wonderful story about a clairvoyant female detective chasing a serial killer through time, and all the puzzles are fun.”
“Interesting point-and-click adventure with nice character and a thrilling, well-written story.”
“There are gaps in the plot logic though (like your character finding a clue and somehow knowing a person's name without it being introduced - I could name a few more, but spoilers), and after a while I felt like I was just kind of going along.”
“I give gold stars for originality plot-wise but ultimately it's just not well done and comes across as slow and dull.”
“Storyline was average as well, just overall an average game, worth killing a few hours of time over; the puzzles felt pretty unique except for a Sudoku one.”

The gameplay features innovative mechanics and appealing graphics, with a notable time-travel element that enhances the experience. However, it suffers from an over-complicated story and excessive backtracking and pixel-hunting. Overall, while not flawless, it offers a bug-free experience with 8-10 hours of engaging content.
“I really enjoyed the back and forth through time mechanic, and I found the main character to be really likeable.”
“It is not perfect anyway, but seems to be bug-free and grants easily 8-10 hours of gameplay.”
