Fun but unexceptional little RPG Maker adventure game. I've played a lot of "deduce your own murder" types of games, and there aren't really any surprises here, but I had a good time anyway.
I think the best, most distinctive feature for me here is its very smart use of RPG Maker-style space. The thing that sets apart RPG Maker adventure games is the player's relationship to the space they're in. Direct control and RPG-style area layouts means the player gets a more physical connection to the space they're in compared to, say, a point and click style game. Constraining the player to a single endlessly-looping screen is a pretty clever take on this style of space, and helps the game make an impact it might otherwise not have. The use of outlined NPC characters, without any details, might be cribbed directly from Palette but it still does a good job of communicating the player character's alienation from other characters around him even as he needs a connection with them to solve his personal mystery.
