The WhatsNext verdict

For Fans of compact logic puzzles, stylish character art, and witty, bite-sized comedic adventures.: It pairs clever, turn-restricted grid puzzles with a wildly charming cast of sharply dressed demon girls, all propelled by a rhythmic, head-bobbing electronic soundtrack. Tradeoff: The entire experience lasts around an hour, and the climactic finale abruptly shifts from methodical turn-based logic to reflex-heavy dodging.
