The core to this game is pretty solid. I found myself quickly intrigued in the mystery, some of the mechanics surrounding it really were interesting. My biggest complaint is in the pacing, as it takes a nosedive in the middle and is overall pretty inconsistent at holding moment to moment interest. The characters also hold very simple roles in the story, solely existing to fill their purposes in the mystery. This concept is novel and could probably create something great but I definitely found myself wishing there was more there for the main two characters at least, it would've helped a lot with some of the pacing issues. Overall The Sekimeiya is a really cool visual novel just held back by a few things keeping it short from great status
