    The story is widely praised for its engaging detective plot, well-developed characters, and appealing art style, often described as gripping and immersive. However, some users mention issues with English translation and pacing, and many find the in-game currency system limiting, requiring ads or purchases to progress through chapters. Overall, the narrative is seen as a strong highlight that effectively combines mystery with the game's mechanics.

    • “The most important part of this game was the story; it was extremely well thought out and gripping.”
    • “I loved this game beyond belief; the lore, story, world building, all of it was incredible.”
    • “Was a really great game, the story line was amazing, the connection between stories were phenomenal.”
    • “The main story was lacking; plot twist and way of storytelling could've been done differently to cover remaining holes, add foreshadowing and really engage the player.”
    • “Also, the English translation is a bit poor and that makes it much harder to understand the story and therefore identify the criminal.”
    • “Perhaps it is because of too much background story and less mystery cases, and the drag of getting the diamonds required to open new stories/cases that forces you to wait for days or watch the ads.”
  • monetization

    144 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    2% positive mentions, 3% neutral mentions, 95% negative mentions

    The game employs a monetization system heavily reliant on diamonds to unlock chapters, which players can earn either by watching numerous ads or by making in-app purchases. While ads are optional and mostly non-intrusive, many users find the diamond costs for progressing high and the daily ad limit restrictive, leading to slow advancement without spending money. Overall, the monetization is seen as reasonable by some but frustrating or time-consuming by others, with ad availability and rewards sometimes buggy.

    • “The microtransactions are not pushed on you and so far I haven't hit any sort of paywall or pay to win situation.”
    • “Love the artwork. Definitely a game that won't force you to buy the in-app purchases, but I do it to support the developers.”
    • “I like it, the characters look nice and I like everything else. There were no ads in this game, you can watch ads if you want to, I like it.”
    • “After the first 7 days of free diamonds, each new case or story costs more than you receive for free. The only way to earn free diamonds is by watching 10 ads per day, making progression difficult without payment.”
    • “You have to pay a very high amount of diamonds to start a new subchapter (60 diamonds each), and it is very difficult to get this amount just by watching ads (each ad gives 2 diamonds, max 10 ads/day). Buying diamonds with cash isn't viable as you need too many to finish.”
    • “Many chapters require a large number of diamonds to unlock, and with only 2 diamonds rewarded per ad and a maximum of 10 ads per day, you have to watch an unreasonable amount of ads or wait multiple days to proceed.”

The visuals, likened to manhwa or webtoon styles, effectively complement the engaging storyline and gameplay, making the overall presentation highly enjoyable. Some criticisms are minimal and focus more on gameplay or monetization rather than graphics quality.

    • “So far this game is absolutely amazing, the animations and art style are great, the cases are actually really fun, and it's not a super easy game, it actually makes you think.”
    • “The visuals are gorgeous, the gameplay is unique and intuitive, and the story also seems interesting enough.”
    • “I just completed this game and it has everything: a hooked storyline, great graphics, challenging puzzles and no bugs. The plot and story were interesting and the main highlight of this game.”

    The gameplay centers on spot-the-difference challenges combined with detective interrogation elements, offering an engaging yet straightforward experience.

    • “The gameplay is so short because it's just find the difference which can be done in 2 minutes (forced timer).”
    • “Gameplay is only find the differences, bland, nothing to do with any kind of investigation, but with a life system, meaning that you will forget the investigation if you fail at some point.”
    • “That's really inconvenient for the detective part of the game. As for the gameplay part, it's either too evident or too hard to spot the difference in the picture, and every mistake costs you. Every level costs you, every chapter requires diamonds to unlock.”
