    This is my absolute favorite games. It's hilarious, and the storyline is amazing. I was genuinely upset at some parts (you're supposed to be), and other times, I was enjoying the humor. Sometimes it's sexual humor and other times it's random humor-- it's not for everyone, but it matched my humor type perfectly. Some of the puzzles were difficult, but that's what made it fun.

    Underrated Game of the Year

    I haven't finished this game yet, but so far I've been super hooked to the story, characters, and game play. I think that this game's potential was highly underestimated near its launch and that you really should get the game if you're into visual novels with in-depth stories as well as unique settings.

    Very interesting story of you like games such as Zero time dilema- and dangan rompa, love the characters and the voice acting in English is great (I prefer all my jrps/ visual novels in Japanese, they are much better voice actors than in english)

    Haven't got to play it as much as I'd like but it's an intriguing story and very interactive gameplay. It has some fun dialogue options mixed in with the main dialogue, including an option to talk to yourself! Definitely recommend this game.

    A Fun Trip

    This game took me a while to really get into. The way it revealed the story and the multitude of twists felt kind of off at times. It did pick up speed in time, using the branching paths to shed a lot more light on the entire case that the game follows. Two paths in particular included two of my least favorite characters and by the end of both of them I grew to have a new found appreciation for them. They both resonated with me on a close personal level that relater to my own personal expierences. Of course this being a visual novel, gameplay generally takes a backseat. It's fun to go to each location and search through all of the objects to see what each character will say about them and the characters themselves stand out from each other on their own. The big stand out feature are the psych dream sections where you go inside someone's dream and solve puzzles. This is fun because you also are put on a time limit and the characters have some fun dialouge. It gets disturbing, sad, confusing and overall is a well made game. The big flaws would come from performance, for example, there were parts where it would be trying to load up a little mini screen through the main characters' eye but it would take an awkwardly long time to load. Graphically it loops much smoother undocked. If you can get past these problems you will definitely enjoy it. -Slentay

    Kotaro Uchikoshi has elevated the visual novel genre with his engaging Japanese games. After raising the bar with the Zero Escape series, Uchikoshi pivots to a police procedural with sci-fi elements. What I love about this game is how it branches different story paths depending on the choices you make, all of them very well-written and with characters you'll get to know and love (and hate). Some story lines are better than others, but I suppose that's the point. If you can find it, it's certainly a must buy—and one that will likely go out of print if you don't act fast.

    This is an interactive visual novel game. The story is very intriguing with some very bizarre plot twists and pretty memorable characters. The interactions between the main character and his AI partner are particularly entertaining. Although the game does have a serious plot, much of the game consists of humorous dialogue, with a good portion of it being puns and sexual innuendo.

    Was skeptical when I first saw ads for this title, but I’m glad I took the plunge. This game fills the same niche as the Ace Attorney series of games, but feels higher quality due to the fully-voice acted script. A great ride that will keep you guessing up until you get the true ending.

    If you're familiar with Uchikoshi's Zero Escape series, you'll likely enjoy this game, too, as it's by Uchikoshi as well. The story is incredible, the characters are loveable, and it's honestly an unforgettable experience. Give this game a try, I'm sure it wont disappoint.

    The banter between you and your eyeball is hilarious at times, and eye rolling at worse... the puns must be getting to me. The case that's investigated is pretty dark. At this time I only have 4 of the "endings", one of which seems sort of hidden.

    This game quickly has become one of my faves to play on the system. If you're a fan of the Zero Escape, Danganronpa, or Ace Attorney series, this is definitely a game you should check out. Kotaro Uchikoshi definitely knocked it out the park with this one.

    A classic Uchikoshi game that's incredibly fun to sink into. It's a visual novel so there's not much gameplay outside of a few quicktime events. The characters and story are engaging and well worth playing through every ending of which there are multiple.

    If you enjoyed the Zero Escape series (999, Virtues Last Reward, and Zero Time Dilemma), then you should love this game. You play as Date, a police detective trying to solve a string of murders. In order to do that, Date can "psync" with suspects, and explore their dreams to find clues or expose what they may be hiding. There are multiple branching paths, each one helping you learn more about what is really happening in this mysterious case.

    This game has a wild story with numerous branching paths that kept me captivated until the (many) end(s). The docked graphics are slightly atrocious but the handheld visuals are much better. Caught a sale for $23.99 and got almost 40 hours out of it. Delivery was quick.
