The Path of Logic
I've finished the game just the other night, what can I say... Few games leave an impression on me but this one certainly did!

Let's start with the game play, it's more like an interactive movie than a game. As the scenes play out you can pause anytime you like, gather clues or check on relations between characters. Then comes the time when you have to form your hypothesis with the clues you've gathered.

This game favors one who is observant and thinks about the logic path.

The production value is very high. Good acting as well casting, special shout-out to Nanami Sakuraba as Haruka Kagami. The music is up there along the likes of Joe Hiaishi and the general audio is good. I played with Japanese audio and English subtitles but you can choose English audio too.

I played it mostly in handheld mode without issues, when I bought the game I expected it to be fairly short but to my surprise my switch profile stated that I've played the game for more then 15 hours.

So what's the verdict? This game is a bit expensive for a physical copy but after completing it I think it's worth every penny!

Why?

The story!

Very good!!!
A really well made fmv game for the modern times.

The story in general is quite good and very well executed, however, I cannot discuss more without spoiling it.
There are times where the pacing is a bit slow, but those are few and far between.

Be warned that even though you may choose English for subtitles in the options menu, you still need to activate the subtitles in one of the other menus for they to be displayed.
