Thoughts after beating the game
1.) I really liked the tension of having a mountain of evidence and advancing the next day, wondering if I've missed something. Because I don't know how the story goes or if it might branch at all, I'm open to all kinds of surprises.

2.) Sometimes the same piece of evidence gets used twice as the answer to two different situations such as how the security cam photo of the Scion gets used once to establish that he time traveled, and again during the final rebuttal . I don't like this because it feels like it's too easy of an answer / it's just the same question again.

3.) I wish the red thread connections were more complicated. I get that the questions are breaking it down into individual specific things, but it often felt like I only ever needed to connect one or two pieces of evidence , and I wished for longer conspiracy threads for even single questions.

4.) I am not a fan of the achievements because they affect some of the fun for me. Specifically, one of the fun fake-outs is with the Hedonist, and it makes you second-guess yourself on the other cases. What if I've just made a reasonable argument that this person is the one, but I'm actually wrong? I'd prefer it if the achievements popped when you identify anybody as the participant, right or wrong, though I don't know how many times that is possible in the game.

5.) One point of the ending is that the Revenant is given free usage of the life or death power to resurrect everyone, and when the "game" that is proposed is "do as much good as possible", reviving anyone in the world unjustly murdered seems a little too much! But this is a small thing :D

6.) Sometimes when clicking to advance the animations of things like "who did you think it was", it's too easy to accidentally click an unwanted item.

7.) There's a few spots where you do have to make an assumption based on what is there that feels like it could go either way. For example, the Dreamer could be Eda E. Roland because the watercolor paintings of the cover look like hers, and her publisher specifically mentions wanting the next book in the series, and Coldsweats is a series (the book in the catalogue is titled Coldsweats and subtitled Touch of Madness) but Rosefort is not. When she mentions "the Vermin Gang", that honestly made me think she might be the author of Percival Hare. Heck, it doesn't even prevent her from reading other people's stories! The "Vermin Gang" is not an item mentioned in the story description in the catalogue, but it is cited as a decisive reason.

Overall I had a good time with this game! It's short, but it doesn't overstay its welcome, and the idea of having many mysteries to solve at once and a mystery that is progressing as you participate in it (rather than you arriving at the scene after it's all over) feels really good. Frankly, I wish the game gave you more room to be wrong and fail, but that would wildly expand the scope of the game.

Just finished the game.Full spoiler

I agree with point 5 about Revenant. His power can also heal people due to the return individual will be cured all the ailments and injuries. He can kill and revive people with full health. That's too much kindness that unmeasurable.
Btw why Scion still missing an eye. That's weird. Scion can beg for forgiveness.

Also in the begining of the story, the master wipe Lambda memory because he heard her real name. She afraid Deamon Thanstos other ability:bestow death.
What happen if Revenant use it for his sence of justice.

Lambda unleash too much power that the world can handle.
