Perfect little game. The script, voice acting, character art, background art, music, sound effects, are all absolutely wonderful and genuinely charming. The puzzles were generally good too, if a little bit samey/simple sometimes.
The characters were all so well defined and unique which made every little interaction with them a delight. Everyone had their own theme music, which was not only amazing but suited each character to a tee.
Won't go into the story too much as to avoid making this spoilers, but it was an actually pretty reasonable, well-dressed mystery, with bits that could be pieced together before the game explicitly stated them.
As a huge Layton fan, I love this game, some aspects even moreso than with any of the Layton games. I think it fell slightly flat on the puzzles, which is Layton's greatest strength (besides great art/music direction), but had a much more cohesive story and fun dialogue than anything from Level-5.
Highly recommend to any fans of detective stories looking for a pleasant, low-stress casual game.
