What players say
Killer is way TOO Obvious! This is an interesting VN that takes the setting of a travelling circus in US. Pity if it had been voiced it would been even more great. Story: Fine Nothing super fantastic or plot twisting it is pretty mediocre in my opinion, with the logical flow. also a bit confusing at times. There seems to be a lot of unanswered questions. You follow the journey of a detective and a replacement...

A really solid entry in the difficult world of detective visual novels. Bold enough to experiment but not so brazen as to think it can completely re-invent the wheel. Clearly born out of a love for the genre. The biggest strength is the freedom and versatility given to the player in the way they investigate. There's really no "wrong" way to play, and the extent to which dialogues will naturally reflect the things...
Based on price alone. The story is okay-ish. There's not much detective work here, since most choices are funneled into 1 or 2 places to go or person to ask. Lots of filler that does a good job of explaining the characters or the setting, but aside from this there isn't much gameplay. It's almost a visual novel. 5 hrs of well presented entertainment, I just wish there was more cases.
