Ah, this game was definitely something to say the least..... I came into it with pretty high hopes, since I'm pretty fond of the detective style games like danganronpa and such (in fact got couple others on my list for the genre as well.) However, this game just didn't quite suit my fancy as much as some other detective games out there, think mainly just because of how the cases worked when solving them, just wasn't too struck on how the problem solving minigame played out. Then to also note, this game is Japanese, so there's no english voice acting at all, which is fine, but it also means you have to pay that much more attention to screen during dialogue just to read the subtitles to understand the story/plot of game. If you look away or get side tracked with something else, could miss some key story elements, saying that from personal experience, don't worry though as I still got most.
Now when it comes to the characters, they were okay, but I just felt none of them really had anything to make them stand out, like probably only character I even remember is the one who was the mastermind of everything, which unlike Julian, I actually didn't nail that on the head straight away. However, I also wasn't surprised by any means when I did see who it was... so even though I didn't predict it, there was still no surprise given that gave any major wow factor, was more just like oh okay, that's cool I guess. So yea, overall, when comparing this game to not only other detective style games, but to the rest of my list, just wasn't enough of a stand out factor to rank this one any higher.
