    The gameplay is secondary to the narrative, appealing mainly to fans of murder mystery with a supernatural twist. While some elements provide world-building details, they do not significantly impact gameplay and certain interactions, like writing in the notebook, are scripted rather than player-driven. Overall, it’s best enjoyed on sale or as part of a bundle.

    • “Recommended on a sale or bundle if you enjoy murder mystery with a supernatural feel and a strong narrative over gameplay.”
    • “The game provides vital information about its world, although this information can be ignored as it does not directly impact gameplay.”
    • “Characters can converse by writing in a notebook, but this is a scripted event rather than an interactive gameplay feature.”
