It's by far the most compelling idle game I've ever played. Feature-rich and it doesn't take too much time between unlocks although it feels necessary to use a guide to fully understand features that are occasionally not explained fully. That being said, if you aren't concerned about making ideal choices with upgrades then this is the perfect game to pick up and not actively play.

I have mixed feelings on this game but I think that overall I would lean to recommending it.

First of all, I think if you're looking for a crime solving investigation game, this might be a bit disappointing. I think the main gameplay is more of a collect-a-thon around a large map with occasionally frustrating platforming. The characters are fun, and for the first 6 hours of my playthrough I was invested in learning about them all and how the crime played out. At a certain point, about halfway through my playtime, I got tired of having to run back and forth to talk to characters about one small thing only for them to reveal another detail that meant having to run across the island to talk to the same character I had just spoken to.

To not be too negative, I think that the soundtrack is stellar and the main theme, especially the version with lyrics that plays over the end credits, is such a great song that I've had it on loop on Spotify for days after completing the game.

I think that for someone on the fence with this game, you should know that there is certainly an emphasis on exploration and that it can be overwhelming to see just how many collectibles there are scattered around the island. If you're looking for a really tight story with a clear, correct solution, this might not be for you.

To the developers, I really do hope you make a sequel or at least another game in the same style. I feel like so many elements were so close to being great but a few too many frustrating design choices left me feeling a little lukewarm by the end. That being said, I still felt compelled to 100% the game so take from that what you will. My critiques come from a place of wanting to see this game fully realized and for it to reach its full potential and I hope that one day I can play another game from Kaizen Game Works!

This game was so great, I hope you make more!
