Several diaries gradually reveal the thrilling story of a missing case; after multiple deductions, are the answers in the past or present? With frequent plot twists, you never know which is the truth and which is the unexpected; in a dense fog, time buries the past, but the marks remain.

Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.

For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 25 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 10 places towards #1, and the 2,413 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
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.

The art and gameplay is gorgeous. I love this idea of putting scraps of paper in the correct order in a diary, super cozy aesthetic. The problem is that the story is sh*t. [spoiler] Why did Cedric get bullied for "Ooooh you and so-and-so like each other" but the female MC wasn't bullied for it? And then when the female MC finds out what her fiance did, she didn't call off the wedding. And in the end, it's very unclear if the bullies were ever punished for what they did years ago. [/spoiler] Not a well written plot at all.
Pros and cons for this game: The art style and sound design is absolutely gorgeous. It is a beautiful game, and a well written story. The first chapter genuinely unsettled me while playing, though I won't get into spoilers. It catches the attention and holds interest, it really does. It's beautiful and it's a great story telling experience. However, unfortunately, I wouldn't really call anything in the game an actual puzzle. Dragging and dropping information from one place to the other, a few extremely simple math questions. There's nothing I would consider difficult or engaging when it comes to the puzzles. It is also extremely short. My play through was less than two hours from beginning to end. At the end of the day, it's a wonderful story and concept, and it's gorgeous. But I think it's too simple, and too short for the price. I bought it on sale and still feel like it was a little too expensive for what it is. If you can get it on sale, it's a good experience!

Ignore the negative comments about the small bugs on the UI, those are sometimes annoying at best, but nothing frustrating. The art, interaction, plot and character writing is amazing! Would absolutely recommend this cozy, mystery solving from different povs setting.
画风喜欢,里面一些小互动也很新颖。故事内容有一些小巧思,推理很简单不怎么用思考就能顺利过剧情。总体来说是一款很可爱的游戏 ‧˚꒰🐾୭ ˚. ᵎᵎ
This game is very well made. The story is suspenseful and does hit some sensitive topics, but that's what made it so emotional while I played. !!Spoilers ahead!!! I'm well educated when it comes to things like murder mysteries and stalking cases cause those are things I watch documentaries and listen to podcasts as well. I wasn't expecting the final ending, and as sad as it was it was a very well told plotline. I enjoyed the little mini games and putting the puzzle pieces together to solve the case. I'm glad Ashley didn't just let it go, and that she solved the case.
个人觉得挺好玩的,很有意思,当然建议打对折时入
Ne hikaye anlatıyor, ne puzzle sunuyor, ne de aşırı gizli bir twisti var. İlginç bir tarzı dünyanın en sıkıcı ve basit hikayesinde kullanmak istemişler. Sanat tarzı hoş, mekanik açısından bir takım fikirleri var ama geliştirmemişler.
还我钱来....
Hauntingly beautiful, and entirely told through bullet journals. Had this sitting in my wishlist for quite a while before actually playing it, which I think added so much to this story - not knowing anything about its marketing and story hints anymore. Can;t expect everyone to have that same experience (esp if you're deep enough to read reviews on this game), but I do believe that going in as blind as possible has its unique upsides. The artwork looks amazing and has a very appealing style, and the animation adds so much charm to the whole thing. The way the story was presented also just had so much detail and care put into it, I'm absolutely in love. In general, the whole game was very captivating design wise - UI, art, music.... Super beautiful, very artistic and with such a clear vision. I did find that some font choices (or, more accurately, font size & kerning) were a bit hard to read since a lot of them emulate a handwritten style. But, overall, the parts where I noticed this were a lot more for flavour text than actually crucial for puzzle completion. In my personal experience, I found this game to be very polished, and the gameplay was snappy. Maybe a bit _too_ snappy even: trying to just look through the snippets made some of them fall into adjacent free spaces, and some ended in their correct place because of it. Nothing too annoying, but I do wish I could actually see the text underneath all the snippets I'm meant to place ^^' Sometimes the screen got a bit crowded. I couldn't find any of the issues that other reviewers/commenters mentioned; no game-breaking bugs whatsoever. There were some issues with the EN localisation - some minor misspellings and one case where a dialogue was duplicated from another clue - but none of it seemed to impact the gameplay at all. Even if it did, the game is very easy and can be brute-forced if really necessary: Some snippets can only be placed in specific categories of places, and correctly placed snippets will immediately lock in place fully. This makes it a lot easier than similar games in this genre, but the amount of snippets & lack of handholding really makes up for it. All in all, I really enjoyed this game, and applaud the storytelling of it all. Insanely cool project!!
很独特的美术风格,喜欢的可以打折入,流程短真不值54块,剧情不好评价,[spoiler]最后霸凌的人还当上了警察还升职了,太逆天了[/spoiler]
