I picked this up as I played the first one on the DS when I was younger and remember loving it. While these are great remakes presentation-wise, there's not a huge amount of gameplay here.

There's a lot of dialogue and puzzles are few and far between, and I seem to remember there being more puzzles in the original; it now feels less puzzle game and more visual novel. I appreciate that they can't replicate puzzles that used the DS dual screens, but there's no new puzzles that really use Switch features to compensate so the concept of unique puzzle solving hasn't really translated to the Switch at all.

So far I've finished the first game and I'm about halfway through the second and, while I've enjoyed my time with it, I'm not sure I'm enjoying it enough to finish.
