  • Beautiful and distinctive art style with elegant character designs that create a dramatic and romantic atmosphere.
  • Fantastic writing and storytelling, with well-developed characters and clever use of secret hand-sign language enriching the narrative.
  • Unique and intriguing gameplay mechanic involving decoding parallel dialogues through hand signals, making the experience fun, rewarding, and replayable.
  • Lack of a save feature forces players to complete the entire game in one sitting, causing frustration especially when needing to replay for different endings.
  • The rewind function is often imprecise, taking players back too far and disrupting the flow of gameplay.
  • No interface features such as a preview or hover-over for hand sign meanings and no dialogue log, making decoding tedious and less user-friendly.

    The game features a compelling story with strong, well-developed characters and elegant, aristocratic dialogue that enhances its unique atmosphere. While the storytelling and art style are praised for their quality and world-building, some players find the slow pacing and subtlety in conversations can make the gameplay feel tedious over time. Overall, the story is engaging, especially for fans of narrative-driven games, though the experience may be affected by the game's pacing and user enjoyment.

    • “The characters are the strongest element of this game, and it makes for a wonderful story.”
    • “The storytelling is done incredibly well from start to finish, and each sequence gives the player more information about the world that surrounds them and the characters involved.”
    • “For the story, the dialogue is in an elegantly aristocratic tone, which is a breath of fresh air amidst modern writing.”
    • “Perhaps given by the nature of being classy and secrets the story has a slower pace. I get the point of wanting to make the conversations appear subtle and all secrecy, but in the long term all the decoding and trying to figure out makes the gameplay more tedious than fun.”
    • “I came here for the art and story (and trying out the gameplay) but games heavily rely on user experience. If a game is not fun, no matter how good the art, story, and music are, it loses its purpose of being fun.”
    • “The game felt complete, even if personally I’d love to have an even further expanded storyline, but perhaps one day we will have the chance to explore the world of the beloved inquisitor further.”

    • “Overall, I would definitely recommend the game but would not play it if you have a short attention span or need to keep in mind your previous answers for authentic gameplay, since there are minor bugs that freeze dialogue and no save file to prevent this.”

    • “Perhaps due to the game's classy and secretive nature, the story has a slower pace. I understand the intention to make conversations subtle and full of secrecy, but in the long term, all the decoding and trying to figure things out makes the gameplay more tedious than fun.”
