The most interesting part of this game is their snappy dialogue. I find it entertaining. There was a time that I had to research on the usage of different words and lines just to get the contextual meaning of them--since this is made in japan, some lines carry more meaning in their culture than in ours. Graphics wise, the animations are smooth and the movements are defined. More

This keeps me entertained when I'm killing time in the dentist office or a long line anywhere else. It's challenging and just plain fun figuring who the culprit is in different mystery scenarios. And if I get interrupted, I can always go back and continue where I left off from, which is nice. More

Honestly there's nothing particularly special about this game--if you like puzzle/hidden item games, you'll like this one. If you typically don't, then this game won't be your cup of tea. Would have liked to have seen more originality.

This is a standard murder mystery game much like an electronic Clue. While the game is functional and the mystery component excellent even, the UI is kludgy and rough. Coious in-app purchases also muddle the experience. Well-liked among hardcore mystery fans, it remains unpolished. More

I am rather amused by the super voice acting. For me, in a game, the sound and music should be interesting to make the game a lot more exciting and this has a good soundtrack. Although the puzzles are repetitive, I find the setting and backstory compelling. More

Whoa this is pretty intersting because I instantly became an agent that works on my brother's death. LOL. Anyway, the gray-shade color of the game makes it more thrilling to discover more clues. I havent tried this on my iphone tho, I only downloaded it in my ipad and it works. More

This game used to be a ton of fun but then it started getting annoying. The time to get energy is absolutely horrendous; they need to offer more energy faster. It is buggy and crashes a lot.

Although I love detective stories, this game is a bit weak. It feels like a game made for money rather than fun. Disappointing.
