A short-ish (I pretty much completed all the important content in my 11 hours of playtime) but very satisfying investigation game. The best way I can describe it is: Vaporwave Danganronpa in a Lovecraftian setting. If that confuses and intrigues you, read on.

Setting aside, it's a classic whodunnit kind of story. You play as Lady Love Dies, an investigator called back from exile to find out who killed the Councile of Paradise Island, a weird metaphysical reality bubble created by a group of immortals called the Syndicate in a bid to resurrect ancient dead Gods from outer space. There's a previously convicted murderer who escaped his jail and was found at the scene of the crime with the blood of the victims on him, so it seems an open and shut case... but of course, it's not that easy. Talk with the residents, snoop around, solve a few puzzles, find clues, and eventually, start a Trial and make your case. The gameplay itself is pretty simple, and it's basically a Visual Novel with an open world setting, but the setting, character writing and dialogue are fantastic and are worth alone playing. Great atmosphere and a really good mystery too - I enjoyed a lot piecing together all the various hints and information as the many mysteries and conspiracies in the island unfolded. Definitely recommended, especially if you enjoy detective stories!
