"Detective, each of us has our part to play in the world. My part is to solve crimes. I am under no illusion that my role isn't a minor one, in the scheme of things... but I embrace it *because* it's my role, and it's yours too, detective, whether you accept it or not!" - Kim Kitsuragi

This is, without a single doubt, one of the best games I've ever played. The story and characters are written in an amazing way. Every character feels unique and different, and they actually feel like distinct people with distinct thoughts and feelings. The in-game world favors quality over quantity, as the map is relatively small compared to most other RPG games. The game has no combat system whatsoever, and it's heavily narrative focused. It has a lot of unique gimmicks, such as the thought cabinet, being able to converse with your skills/thoughts, etc. In short, the game is all about story and atmosphere, and It is truly a spiritual experience. The soundtrack and the artwork are done beautifully. Every detail of this game was meticulously crafted and thought through, and it shows. There is many more positive things I could say about this game, but I'll stop it there. While, yes, it does have some flaws such as the movement being a bit janky at times and the occasional softlock after a dialogue, it's nothing too problematic whatsoever.

Simply put, this game is a masterpiece.
