Описание

On a cold November night in a desolate estate deep in the mountains an innocent life has prematurely perished. Surrounded only by his family and closest friends, a controversial yet immensely successful businessman William Goldberg passed away under mysterious circumstances. Being an upstanding member of society and the owner of Goldberg Industries, a multi-million dollar arms company responsible for providing the military during the World War 2, news of his death caused an uproar at the local police department. It seemed the case was tailor-made for the legendary detective Knox, a prodigy who successfully solved over hundred cases. Accompanied by an aspiring young detective Clark assigned by the Chief to keep an eye on him, Knox departs towards the Goldberg's estate to discover the truth behind the incident.

Miles away from nearest settlement in a mansion hidden from the eyes of public, it is only natural to presume that only those present at the time could have been involved. Follow clues, look for evidence and discover key information by interrogating the suspects. All pieces of the puzzle will be presented and it's up to you to deduce who, how and why the murder happened. A mystery visual novel inspired by classic novels from Arthur C. Doyle and Agatha Christie and "When They Cry" series.

The story was captivating, and the characters were intriguing, particularly the two detectives. I enjoyed the dialogues. Although there were a few typos in the text, they didn't affect the overall meaning. Also, I appreciated the artwork and the setting.

It's a detective game with beautiful details where your choices give different results, even at a minimal level. There is no sound in the game, in fact the title of a visual novel would be appropriate for this game. I think they conveyed the emotions and thoughts of the characters very well despite the lack of sound. It is a beautiful and interesting game. I can recommend it for those who love this genre

I'm always interested in defective concept, its really exciting to find the killer. Beside my feelings about detectife games, this game like a playable book. Most of the time you just read the things and you decide what to do and it seems the choises you make have some consequences.
If you really interested in detectife games, I'd advice you.

A visual novel written by someone with a poor grasp of the English language. (And frankly, that's the vibe I get from most of the positive reviews, as well.)

this visual novel has a very poor grammar, but imo the humor makes up for it.
the mystery is pretty well written, and the plot twist is certainly nice.
the music is pretty good, but it's pretty repetitive. like there's only 3 or 4 of them here
the sprites aren't that great-looking either


but, this game IS pretty cheap and entertaining, so i'm satisfied

A classic example of a great game but terrible ending.
The ending was horrible.

But I do want a sequel. Sadly we won't get one
If they add an option for a new ending then it might work.

Well, there seems to be a lot of morons and trolls reviewing the game who hate visual novels. I am not one of them. I love visual novels. But, as a visual novel enthusiast I am still telling you this piece of crap isn't worth the 4 hours I spent on it. It's so bad I want my 99 cents back.

The "twist" is so stupid that I legit thought that I got a joke ending. When I found out that the "joke" ending was in fact the true ending, I was pretty annoyed. If you are curious, the twist is actually that The killer is Rosenthal's twin brother who was never introduced into the story until after you confront everyone. Yes... they introduce a NEW character in the last two minutes and he is the culprit. It breaks the most basic, fundamental rule of writing a freaking murder mystery in the first place.

The worst offense however is the fact that in it's vndb (visual novel database) summary it dared to compare itself to Umineko... UMINEKO. Widely considered to be one of the best VN's of all time... so of course, I go in thinking "This guy has good taste..." I was very, very wrong.

Terrible, annoying characters. None of these characters have any depth so you can't really tell who would actually commit this murder.

Absolutely awful and often cringe worthy lines

Grammitical errors everywhere.

"Where where you..."

"N,o...

For example.

The art style looks like the artist just started practicing character design two years ago.

Pretty boring...glad I got it on sale for like 1.00. I honestly did not play much of it but most of the beginning was all reading, very limited game play. When there was actual game play it was very direct and impossible to get wrong (choice a, b, c...get it wrong keep going until you get it right)..
Thinking back maybe it was still a tutorial but I doubt it,not was it mentioned. I might finish it at some point and give it to my kids if it is suitable...that might be only plus.

Keep in mind that this is aimed for younger audiences. I did not enjoy the writing, but I am probably not in the age range. Going to recommend it since it is priced right and it fills a void in a genre that does not have enough to choose from.

I was distracted by the juvenile writing, but I wouldn't go as far as to say it was unbearable. Just be prepared for it.

The vast wealth of characters drew me in. The finely photoshopped backgrounds that surrounded the supremely human and lifelike drawings kept me watching with a close eye. Especially the young girl character Alex, who will stay in my nightmares for many weeks to come. I was unable to finish this game, sadly, because the true horror of murder and all it's dirty details was too much for me to bear. I hope someone with a stronger heart than mine will venture forward with detectives knox, clark and don't forget ROBERT! This is a mystery worth solving. 10/10
