What players say
Girl dreams of the world, 10/10. It has good stories from case 1-3 with the realest, most well written characters i have seen for a while and good BGMs. I usually find love story somewhat cliche but those in this novel really did move my heart. Also shout out for my goat Asakawa Yuu for her amazing performance.

Damn... Each case on its own is a mesmerzing read, last case is the perfect thematic continuation for the first three. The game itself is a beautiful piece of work meditating on mortality, love and meaning of life. 10 Kaito / 10 Yonagi would rcm. Probably unpopular opinion but this game would have been perfect without large part of the epilogues, epilogue for each case should have been handled like how case-0 have...
This made me ugly cry. A lot. Stellar storytelling, characters and soundtrack. While I'm praising the game, I'm mostly talking about its main course - Case 0, which is an emotional rollercoaster and one of the best pieces of fiction I've ever read. I found Steam version preferable to 18+ patch which ruins emotional buildup of some scenes, its content feels out of place and tacked on. Other than that? Peak fiction.
