story
14 mentions Positive Neutral NegativeThe story is criticized for its lack of coherence and buildup, with players able to skip to the end without engaging with characters, resulting in a convoluted experience. While the premise of a young reporter investigating murders has potential, it suffers from poor language translation and minimal content, offering only 20 to 30 minutes of gameplay. Overall, the narrative feels disjointed and in need of significant improvement.
