The verdict
A cute, voiced stalker-mystery VN with a livestream-donation deduction loop, great art and music, but trial-and-error gameplay and a predictable story. Skip it if you hate guides and save-scumming.
Great for
Fans of Needy Streamer Overload-style aesthetics who don't mind using a guide and save-scumming
Main risk
Opaque trial-and-error clue gathering that forces guides and replays, with a predictable story
