The music, character designs, etc. capture the historical era (and presumably the TV series) well. The VN took me about 2-3 hours to finish. I didn't come across branching paths--you're sometimes required to exhaust all dialogue options before you're able to proceed, and even when some conversation topics are optional, you can still try them out for fun. The investigation scenes are simply a matter of looking at everything in sight to uncover new clues and (optional) pieces of garments that will eventually unlock new clothes for Phryne. There are also 'deduction' sequences, but there are no negative outcomes for mixing and matching incompatible clues when you want to unlock a new line of inquiry (and even near the 'whodunnit' climax, it doesn't seem you can prematurely end the game by accusing the wrong person or by matching the 'wrong' clues). I'm still looking forward to Episode 2, though This VN seems to be more about the reading experience--being immersed in the storyline and characters for fans of the show--not stumping readers with deduction puzzles ala Phoenix Wright games.

Will I be able to enjoy all the same? verlaine Well-Known Member Jul 26, 2012 216 1 18 #6 verlaine, Feb 8, 2017 Last edited: Feb 8, 2017 I think you might be more emotionally invested if you're already familiar with the key characters and how their relationships have already developed over the course of the books and/or the show. But I think the game's writing still does a fine job in helping new readers come up to speed--you can unlock character profiles, and it's not too hard to infer certain things from dialogues. There are also references to key characters from past episodes/books, but there's nothing a quick search on the Internet can't fix if you want more details. islesfan Well-Known Member Jul 25, 2012 319 3 18 Male Teacher Nevada #7 islesfan, Feb 9, 2017 If you have Netflix, the show is available there and i highly recommend it!
