This is such a neat game. I really want to rate this higher, but multiple crashes in the last 1/4 of the game, combined with sometimes finicky controls (at least on Switch) for some of the mini-game "tricks," took some of the fun out of it for me. I do recommending giving this game a try.

This game is interesting to say the least. Let's start with the good:
The art direction is great, and some of the puzzles are pretty fun and creative. The story escalates halfway through in a weird way, which I would say has both good and bad to it. At least it is interesting.
The bad: not all of the puzzles are winners. Also, I assume the game was not made by an English speaker, and the English translation can at times be confusing or unintentionally funny. On the Switch the cursor can be a bit finnicky (I assume this isn't as much an issue on PC). And the way the story escalates might not be to everyone's taste, especially if you were looking for a little point-and-click mystery.
In my playthrough I achieved the neutral and bad endings. I am not sure how to get the good ending, I assume I missed something or interacted with something in the wrong order; I'm not sure if I will try to go back for the good ending. I think that with a bit of polish with the controls and the English translation, and maybe a bit more content in the middle that makes the transition between the two halves of the game less jarring while providing a bit more story explanation, this could be a phenomenal little experience. As is, it was fun but lacking.
Time to beat: 3-4 hrs
Endings: Neutral, Bad

This game is the definition of mediocre. I can't think of anything this game does particularly well. As far as atmosphere and story go, Call of Cthulhu (2018) did a better job at scratching the Lovecraftian itch. The investigation parts are not very interesting as the game does most of the heavy lifting for you. Navigation around the city is not particularly fun, and the main story never got interesting enough to hook me. All this added up to a game that took to long to finish and never became fun to play, but felt like a chore. I wouldn't recommend picking this one up unless you really need some Lovecraftian gaming content. There aren't many good options in that area unfortunately.
