The Case Book of Arne

It is a delightful game that almost plays like a show(with the intro and recap and such). I do hope the developers will continue expanding on the story as I would like to find out more about their backstories and these hearts. The game focuses on the death of the girl's father and who the killer is while adding some hints of darker things that went on. There are three episodes that are split into 'cases' that you can select from at the start. The music is very enjoyable and catchy and I did enjoy the humour that went along with this. The personality of the characters work very well, especially the dynamic between Lynn and Arne. It does not feel like the characters have to compromise, they are who they are. The art is visually appealing and clean and there is a lot of expression with their pixel forms too. The little extras were not expected but very much appreciated. It felt like the developers were experimenting with the limits of RPG Maker by adding all sorts of minigames to keep it entertaining and refreshing. I also appreciated that it does not matter if you make a mistake as you can still play through the story but you are rewarded if you make no mistakes with some extra goodies. In regards to an issue I had... It was the character movement being a bit slippery? Fortunately the game is not difficult and is very kind to you although, there are times you will have to be a little precise with your movements. I think it was made with the minigames in mind in terms of the movement(just a guess). It is not really a problem however you will come to notice it. I think the movement speed is great but it comes at a cost of control, just a little bit. You will know what I mean when you play it. You can live with it though! For the price of the game, I think it is certainly worth it. For some, this game may be considered short but I think the length of it is quite appropriate for it. It honestly felt like a passion project as a lot of energy and care went into making this game. I really enjoyed it and would happily buy the next case if it were to come out. (It is hinted at the end of the game.) It felt like I was watching an anime episode. Keep that energy! Please continue with this and thank you~ It was a fun experience. ^-^/) (Also Lord Arne's smooth line delivery with the cg about his heart was really cool. Not spoiling~)
