It's not for everyone, but if it's for you, damn it hits
It's not for everyone, but if it's for you, damn it hits. I'd recommend this game if you're a fan of: david lynch, recognizing truth as subjective, vaporwave, character driven stories, dystopian art, or visual novels. I'd say maybe try another game if you're a fan of: storytelling that gives you all the answers, action/combat oriented game play, or perfect playthroughs. some notes: - you can 100% this game, but it's just a bit of a challenged - lady love dies can romance both a woman with a goat head and a sexy scotsman (the bisexual dream) - good music - very funny but also very compelling

Don't be fooled, this is not a detective game
Don't be fooled, this is not a detective game. You will have to do no logical deductions to play through the game. It's more a 3D platformer collectathon wrapped in a detective story (in a bonkers world). (By the way, don't worry about wasting your blood crystals, there are more than enough on the island.) It has some weird game design decisions, but in the end it's more than the sum of its parts. And I mostly enjoyed my time with it.

Easy recommendation
I think whether you like this wonderful game will come down to whether you like the game's style (which is really what merits the comparisons to Danganronpa, as well as some Suda51 games). It might be one of my all-time favourites as far as that goes - it just has an astonishing, and ambitious, amount of charm. The highlight of this game for me was definitely exploring the vibrant and eccentric map and piecing together everything I could about the world (the world map is quite fleshed out and full of small mysteries). I also loved the retrofuturistic, vaporwave/city pop-inspired visuals and soundtrack, and I was amazed at how alive and real they made the game's setting seem. I couldn't get enough of the game's surreal boldness - aloof hedonism, which is key to selling its flavour of worldbuilding. A strong sense of place, attention to detail, and exuberant idiosyncrasy make up for the flaws and missing polish noted by others (the platforming can be a bit clunky, there's some faltering in the trial segment, some weird use of voice lines, the story being enjoyable but not deeply suspenseful for mystery veterans). As for the comparisons, it's more like the evidence gathering part of Ace Attorney than the trial part. It is rough sometimes, but it reminds me more of games like VA-11 Hall-A and The World Ends with You (very high praise), which nail the feeling of a place in a particular time across the board. I really recommend taking a chance on this game if the aesthetic seems at all up your alley, or you're looking for something that looks and feels pretty different.
