“本作是一款有克苏鲁要素的推理解谜游戏,一共包含4个案子,每个案子分为搜证推理、最终对峙、深度推理三个环节。搜证推理环节需要收集场景内分散的线索,与几位嫌疑人对话,指出他们话语中的矛盾,从而获得更多线索,并找到真凶。之后会进入与真凶的最终对峙,双方会进行一系列的辩论,回答正确会削减真凶的血条,答错了会减少我方的血条。赢下最终对峙后还有深度推理环节,可以揭露更多台面下的内容。对推理解谜感兴趣的可以试试”

“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.”
