It all goes well until the ending. The story is original and really interesting, to the point where I wanted to know more and more about the truth, but the ending makes everything that came before feel so dumb. Still, the game was really enjoyable, and even the gameplay was more engaging than in most visual novels. Also, unfortunately, the true ending can't be achieved on the first playthrough.

Recommended with reservations (Thumbs up on sale) I went into Root Letter expecting a typical visual novel, but it plays much more like a point-and-click detective game. I was honestly just trying to clear a backlog game I bought years ago, but the mystery behind the penpal hooked me fast. [*]Game Mechanics: The story is influenced through letter replies which felt fresh and made sense contextually. Best of all, on repeat playthroughs, there's a skip button to skip the common chapter entirely—no endless button-mashing like in other VNs after dialogue replies. [*]Complex Characters: Everyone has a mix of good and bad traits (can't judge them too much since we have to understand that they're immature high school students) and unsaid baggage, making it believable why someone would confide in a total stranger. [*]Point-and-Click & Investigation: To be honest, the point-and-click mechanic can get annoying a lot of the times. Thankfully, the "Think" button gives helpful nudges when you're stuck, and Investigation Mode gives you plenty of room for error. [*]Great Setting & Lore: Exploring real Matsue, Shimane spots—like Kamiari-an (Kamiyo soba), Karakoro Art Studio, Kyomise Shopping District, Shiroyama Park, and Nakamura Bar (中村Bar)—gives the game a great touch. Hint: Clearing a bonus gameplay unlocks a Guidebook with extra background lore on these locations. [*]Calming Soundtrack: The main menu theme in particular is relaxing. Overall, only two of the five endings—the horror route and the true ending—felt completely logical on their own. However, even the weirder, illogical routes still offered useful bits of context that helped piece together the full picture of what actually happened (Pro-tip: Just skip straight to Chapter 9 on repeat runs after replying to the letters—your choices in the letters already set the ending, so there's no need to replay common scenes.) I'm pretty sure I grabbed this on sale, which is definitely the way to go. Given that only two of the five endings are actually satisfying, I wouldn't recommend buying it at full price. My main story complaint is just that I wish the true ending’s epilogue had been longer to give everything proper closure.

While I did enjoy the story, it did feel very flat at times. Other than the "true" ending and the "horror" ending, the others were dumb and made no sense. The "check" system was also super annoying and I actually got the acheivement "Check 100 times" just from trying to click on the EXACT small part you're suppose to check which I laughed out loud whilst in the midst of "checking" everywhere.
