- A perfect cozy mystery! The balance between dialogue and hidden object finding is fantastic, and the manor decorating adds a rewarding layer of customization.
- The characters are charmingly weird, exactly what I look for in a Visual Novel/HOPA hybrid. Sunward Games nailed the atmosphere.
- The puzzles are smart and the hidden object scenes are challenging but fair. Spent hours just trying to get the aesthetic of the library perfect!
- Great plot twist toward the end! It feels less like a typical HOPA and more like an interactive story with excellent puzzle breaks.
