Short and free visual novel with a compelling and relatable story about friendship and supporting each other in difficult relationships.
Lovely comic book/manga-inspired black-and-white art style with expressive character animations and fitting music that enhances the atmosphere.
Engaging gameplay mechanics inspired by Ace Attorney, involving presenting evidence to reveal the truth, with multiple endings and achievements.

Very short runtime which some players feel limits deeper narrative development and replay value.
Occasional translation errors and minor unclear elements in the story or evidence presentation.
Limited interaction and mechanical depth, making it feel more like a proof of concept than a fully fleshed-out game.
