“本作游戏也是尝试在游戏中植入了一个AI模型,是一个未来游戏的趋势方向尝试,但也确实因为技术的不成熟导致一些问题出现。本作游戏最大的特色就是在推理游戏中融入了AI模型自由对话,是一个非常新颖的尝试。游戏像是在玩一款单人剧本杀,在梳理线索方面也是像在玩剧本杀一样的推时间线和动机,AI对话可以调戏对方,增加对方的好感度,甚至可以破心获得重要的线索。游戏的玩法新颖,还有很大的提升空间。”

“The team's innovative use of AI in shaping character personalities has genuinely infused the characters with a sense of vividness. Both the "iceberg-style narrative" and "in-depth deduction" deliver a refreshing and engaging experience.”
