I think it's a very clever and charming usage of public domain art. I feel like the original artist from the 1800s would have enjoyed this application of his art pieces which were somewhat whimsical to begin with. I like the slightly comical but intriguing story and the classical music they use. It all comes together nicely and is pretty cohesive. I found it fun to uncover the truth of each investigation and even though it's likely somewhat railroaded, it still feels like you have to think and make good choices to uncover the *real* truth. Only issue I had is first time I opened the game it didn't open correctly and I had to close/reopen it. But since then it's working fine. I also think the save system could've been a bit more granular, letting me continue from any point in a day instead of having to restart the day. For most of the game it's not a problem, but near the end of the game some of the days are pretty long, and if you feel you've screwed up and want to reload, it takes a couple minutes to get back to where you were in the dialog. It is rather expensive for what you get, so I'd recommend playing it after getting it on sale.
I liked the game, but I consider it more of a step towards a more refined product in the future. It's neither an Ace Attorney-like game, nor a story-driven game more in general, given that it's quite a short game. I would like to see more like it, though. + the visuals were really interesting + fitting soundtrack + decent story for its length, even has multiple endings; at a certain point it stops following its narrative rails and requires you to figure out the correct sequence of choices. It can be annoying but it saves it from being too linear - too short, would not (and in fact did not) buy it at full price - too little space given to trials: they barely last more than a day, and they are very short regardless. They feel more like a device to advance the plot rather than a core aspect of the game; maybe that's the intention. - buggy, especially if you're playing on linux where you risk softlocking the game. At least in this instance not having steam cloud is a good thing. - conventional VN controls do not work; no skip available, dialogues seems to be advanced only via mouse input. Don't know if that's a bug or a straight up omission, but I found it rather annoying especially in the third act. - doesn't support features such as steam cloud or overlay. It's still an enjoyable game, just not at a 15€ price tag. Pick it on a discount, if nothing else to support an indie studio.
Overall, a game that I enjoyed, but if I could give it a "mixed" or sideways thumb review I would. I've added my full review below, with either + or - indicating the weight of positive or negative traits. +++ Very amusing, good writing, with a sense of humour. A fun read. So many puns. +++ Great graphics and music, very nice to look at and listen to. + In chapter 1 and 2, choices actually do seem to have consequences. But often the choice has no real logic or way to identify what the "correct" choice is. There's never multiple correct-ish choices, it's always right/wrong. So you're kind of just guessing and then either reloading or you lose resources if you're wrong. Chapter 3 is the only chapter with 3 branching paths, with chapter 4 being an epilogue story chapter. Overall I did feel like I had agency here, even if it was a bit limited. +/- Here's my big beef / drama with this game. Ignore this completely if you don't care about artwork history. I'm going to refer to both musicians and illustrators as "artists" and "artworks" for brevity. The graphics and music are actually just straight rips from public domain old artists. The game itself doesn't really credit the artists at all, except very briefly in the closing credits and the store page. They're briefly mentioned as "inspired by". I'm not sure how I feel about this. On the one hand - it's wonderful work, and suits the theme perfectly, and it is public domain after all. On the other hand - the artworks are not original. Like if you Google "J. J. Grandville" you will literally see the exact character designs online. In fact, here is the main character I found online from a museum [url=https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/813037]here - the original caption in French being "This old court apparently has an old falcon..." It makes me wonder how much of this game is actually "made" and how much is just essentially public domain asset rips? What makes me even more suspicious is people already flipping these prints online for over $200 without credit. I feel like I would accept this more if the character profile list functioned as an art gallery. Actually display each character in full with the caption, and credit given to the original artist. Also the fact that they're reselling a 100+ year old music composition as a deluxe edition OST feels... off. It's possible that they got an orchestra or custom performance of the music but I somehow doubt it. You can see the full original collection by the original artist [url=https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search?q=59.500.592&searchField=AccessionNum&offset=0&sortBy=Date&showOnly=withImage]here in case you would like to see more. - Missing major visual novel industry-standard QOL features. See previous text, fast text display, skip previously seen text, hide UI to appreciate the art, multiple save files, spacebar/enter to proceed, the list goes on. You can basically only click to proceed the text and select options with the mouse. -- The actual game window / client is horrible. It's very glitchy, and feels exactly like playing a browser based flash game from the early 2000's. Like if you resize the window you can see the other menus hiding just off screen, and the character's feet which are not normally displayed from the original artwork cutouts. You have to carefully resize the window so that the UI displays properly, otherwise text will runn off screen by default. It was playable for me, but annoying. -- Only 4 hours actual playtime to complete an "ending" - I didn't have the motivation to hunt down the other endings but I'd imagine you're looking at a total of 7-10 hours playtime. -- It's quite expensive for what it is.
