This investigative visual novel plunges players into a dystopian future where moral choices have tangible consequences. It's the interrogation sequences that stick with you, the way dialogue options and evidence interlock to reveal the truth, or twist it into a profitable lie. The unsettling atmosphere, driven by the oppressive art style and a morally gray protagonist, creates a compelling experience that lingers long after the credits roll.
