叙事做得很好,环环相扣,节奏明快。 演出效果很不错,有些地方表现得挺艺术的。 推理缝得比较多。 菜单功能真的太舒服了,站在玩家视角做了很多优化的体验,这个真的好评。 有很多背景科普的小知识,剧情也很符合背景时代。很尊重历史,没有让人不舒服的含沙射影,也没有矫揉造作的文青病,刻画的也不仅仅是革命党,上到社会精英,下到走卒贩夫,晚清各个阶级的人们都在为探索救国之道而努力,这点真的让我很喜欢。 喜欢约瑟…
This game is fantastic. Over a series of 6 episodes/cases we slowly piece together the mystery behind the main character's brother's death who died in a locked room. If you're a fan of detective novels or the ace-attorney series, I'd highly recommend.

Too few observations to say whether a discount moves this store's chart at all: across the last 30 days Steam · Top Sellers · Poland has just 18 day-to-day chart moves that followed a price cut, against 2,498 that did not. We are publishing the count instead of a direction — 20 is the fewest we will draw a conclusion from, and price collection outside the United States began on 6 August 2026.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

很好的侦探推理游戏,令我的前额叶疯狂旋转
第六章让我想起很久以前看无头骑士时到某一集突然一切串联起来的热血,谢谢这个故事,让我觉得坚持做一个理想主义者也并不是那么糟糕
it's good!
我是真的特别喜欢这个游戏,也是连续玩了14个小时,打完了全部章节。正好最近就是我们国家的禁毒日,到最后主题都升华了。沉浸感很强,我都代入角色了
有幸在国际禁毒日的时候看到这款游戏。推理还行,立意不错
Bought this game for less than ten euros on a sale, thought I might give it a chance. It turns out it might be one of the greatest gems the crime mystery visual novel genre has to offer. It wears its influences firmly on its sleeve; mechanically, it is a very close match to the Ace Attorney: Investigations duology, and Ace Attorney is listed as an influence by the authors of Murders on the Yangtze River. However, to me, this is a clear case of the student outclassing the master, with MotYR offering a tighter, more grounded narrative. AA often relies on the supernatural for its cases, and has a romanticized view of the role of truth in the court system. MotYR's overarching mystery is grounded to a real world injustice, and understands far better than AA the limitations of the court system to enact actual justice. Its historical setting between 1900 and 1912 is executed with care to detail and willingness to teach. The murder mysteries are constructed in a complex but believable manner. I was so hooked I took multiple breaks in between playing, already mourning that I had played through more than half the game. I hope the indie devs stick to their guns, because they demonstrated exceptional talent with this game.
在玩到第三章结束的时候,有很激烈的思想碰撞。 里面涵盖着很多内容,适合我这种爱国党玩。 这游戏值了,我会向人推荐。
