TOP FUN THINGS TO DO:
⭐️ Building up your own case.
⭐️ Pinning it on whoever you like (Even if it's wrong).
⭐️ Collecting relics of all sorts.

THE UNIQUES:
💎 Ultimately the decision is yours... just find some convincing evidence.
💎 Building the next perfect paradise.

PLAYER GAMING REQUIREMENTS:
💼 Investigation.
💼 Exploration.
💼 Open World.

PROS:
+ Exploring the world will reward you with the evidence you need, it's also great to find all the hidden collectables.

+ You can't just push to the most logical places to start the investigation, things are locked behind pass codes.

+ You can convince the judge to side with you, even if the culprit your going for is innocent.

+ A few puzzles to solve, nothing too difficult.

CONS:
- Characters have small voice overs and sometimes it didn't match with what they were saying.

- It does start to drag near the ending.

- If you've missed certain vital evidence, the characters will confess on trail what they did, this was very annoying for me.

VERDICT:
It seems like this got positive reviews for the wrong reasons, the game is designed for you to investigate each character and build a case around your findings. What I'm seeing, is the game being labelled as a "Open World, Visual Novel" I would agree with certain points but the game still requires you to piece things together and put the evidence in the right places. So to some degree, this is a investigation, it just gives you free reign of asking a bunch of questions without any consequences.

I played this game for the investigation but I enjoyed it because of the world, being able to parkour (Once you've learnt the abilities) Is so fun to do, collecting relics along the way is always something I enjoyed doing. But would I recommend the game for what it's designed for? I'd say yes! It's fun to build up a case and pinning it on one of the characters that you didn't overly like or hardheartedly felt it was them. Just don't expect this to be a full on investigation crime scene, because it isn't.

Total Score = 63/100.

GAMEPLAY:
Players take on the role of protagonist Lady Love Dies, an investigator who is brought out of exile and tasked with uncovering the culprit(s) of a mass murder on Paradise Island. The game's open world, nonlinear design allows players to freely explore the island and interact with other characters over the course of their investigation.
