I don’t think this game is bad, despite how I wrote about it. It’s decent! The aesthetics are great! The prose is good! I just struggle because it looks pretty, and for what? I feel like there should be more to this, that this is a diamond in the rough that with a little shine, will become more than what it is. But, well… it just is. It is itself, and I find it wanting.

If you want a quick jaunt through 1920’s San Francisco, then you might like this game. But if you want a deeper and enjoyable mystery, other games might serve you better. It’s a decent game, but I just can’t remove the feeling of disappointment right now.
