The verdict
A short, cheap, text-heavy detective visual novel with a jerky but funny detective and a twisty story. Skip it if you want polished art, clean English or real deduction gameplay.
Great for
Cheap-VN fans who like classic murder mysteries, quirky characters and short reads
Main risk
Amateur art, many typos and an unfair-feeling twist ending, with mostly clicking through text
