The WhatsNext verdict
For Players who enjoy historical mysteries, sharp dialogue, and choices that shape how a close-knit community remembers its past: Investigating murders across decades turns conversations, local knowledge, and your judgment into the heart of the story. Tradeoff: Reading and choosing drive nearly all of the experience; players looking for action or puzzles built around hands-on mechanics may find it slow.
