Actually surprisingly solid mystery vn, I like that instead of bloating it with mechanics it just lets you figure it out completely on your own. Well, the soccer minigame is a bit questionable but skippable. on the flip side its achievements seem to be bugged and it made me read "chip butty" entirely too many times
