I love the review, and I'm still really proud of this game (and the series.) This game put into place a lot of lessons I learned over the course of 4 years making these games. I miss working on it and getting wonderful responses like this! :)

Sometimes I remember about the coquette aesthetic Hound of the Baskervilles (From Wordworth Editions) I don't need to own it, but it makes me happy knowing it exists. I hope it has made lots of Gen Alpha teens who love soft feminine aesthetics and gothic horror very happy.

I've now read 7 books in this series, and they're all fairly consistent. If you like somewhat gothic murder mysteries, as well as Japanese history and culture, then they're interesting. They also serve as the inspiration to Kindaichi Casefiles, which is one of my all-time favorites. 8/10

Thanks so much again. Maybe in some number of years, I will be able to bring it back, depending on how life goes. I also got invited to speak at a conference for murder mystery authors (about gamedev) this fall, so that will be fun. :)
