무난하게 괜찮은 게임. 이번작은 스토리텔링 위주라 단간론파 같은 것을 기대했다면 실망할 수도 있음. 챕터3는 그래도 추리적 요소가 꽤나 많이 들어가고 괜찮았고, 나머지 챕터들은 스토리텔링 위주의 비쥬얼노벨류임 ㅇㅇ. 추천대상 : 비쥬얼노벨을 즐기는데 추리적 요소는 라이트하게 즐기고 싶은 사람 비추천대상 : 단간론파, 마노사바 같은 거 좋아하고 비쥬얼노벨류는 싫어하는 사람

case当时云通关了,retro算是小补一下票。女主的演出实在是太用力了,不过要是回头想想,14岁少女或许正好是为了一个想法毁灭世界的年纪? 游戏性方面,总之难度还是没有提上来,体验为主。可能是受限于游戏的表现形式,很难循序渐进地给提示,陷入有限选项的选择就太明显了。 “必须有一位不太聪明的朋友,也就是侦探的华生。这个人的智力水平应当略低于普通读者的平均水平。”

連 噬骰制勝 - 超自然卡牌迷局 這遊戲都連結上了嗎 劇情本身很優秀,綠毛的存在是個敗筆 唯一問題是續作甚麼時候端上來 等不急看後續了

good
I recommend this game, but conditionally: it's mainly worthwhile if you've already played the prequel, Staffer Case. As other reviewers have mentioned, the mystery-solving element of the game takes a backseat to the narrative development, and it helps to be invested in the setting already. For its writing alone, I found the story structure, character growth arcs, and the series' characteristic superb worldbuilding to be very enjoyable. While each case was, for me, substantially easier and more linear than the cases in its prequel, I do think that some of the reduced difficulty came from improved UI and clearer writing direction (although I can't deny that the premises often felt more straightforward as well). Overall, a great visual novel.
단점: 추리 비중이 좀 낮음, 스토리 후반부로 갈수록 스토리가 반전보다 예상한대로 흘러간게 많았음 장점: 라투디라 보는맛이 있음. 1~6챕 진행하면서 하나의 연결된 스토리로 떡밥 회수 비교적 잘됨 결론: 비주얼노벨 보는 느낌으로 스토리 감상하면 수작임(2챕은 제외) 다음작에선 고점 한번 터뜨려줬음 좋겠음
외전과 스핀오프를 거쳐 돌아온 스테퍼 시리즈 2편, 여전히 현실은 냉랭하며 뒤통수가 아려오는 반전미가 좋음. 시스템적으로 아쉬운 부분이 많지만 건의를 잘 받아줘서 금방 금방 개선했고, 스토리가 공중에 붕 뜨는 부분이 있는데, 베드 엔딩도 한 번쯤 보고 와야 전체가 오히려 보이는 구성인 건 살짝 아쉬움. 성우 보이스 추가를 포함해서 질적 향상은 있었지만 아무래도, 단서 제공에서 풀이까지 키워드에 직접 연결하는 방식의 추리 방식이다 보니 플탐은 그렇게 길기 어려웠음 (단계별로 모순 찾고 범인 위증 찾고 해야 했던 1편과는 그런 부분의 차이가 있는 듯) 솔직히 말해서 약 3만원의 가격이 저렴하다곤 못하겠지만, 그래도 독특한 세계관을 살리는 법을 잘 알고 있고, 세계관을 다져나가는 편으로서는 좋았던 거 같음 9/10
3장은 ㄹㅇ 역겹네 멘헤라 스타일 ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
