This novel is GOOD!!! After following this novel for the past year I gotta say, I loved returning to this story after each new update. The vibe it takes is cool and it makes being a private investigator so interesting. There's memorable characters, there's tension & stakes, and a lot of pieces to think about in the plot. The music is good too
Very well made piece. What y'all are making is awesome 👌
I made an account just to say the new build is CINEMA
cinema, more like sigma!!
high five anyone!

love the new update...
It's a good FVN, I'm a fan of mystery, action and thriller. The characters are great, the story is very interesting, Rou; your main love interest is a real badass and his fox partner Javier; is an amazing character. Read it for a good chunk of six hours from the start until the latest update. The events of the story left me on the edge of my seat, it got really intense and the MC; Theodore is honestly so relatable with being confused and just going along with the fucked up shit he got himself into. Can't wait for the ending so that the MC just goes "bro you wouldn't believe what the hell I just went through in my vacation."
11/10. Great job devs.
too short but really perfect
I'm going to become the joker 🤪🤪🤪🔫🔫🔫🤡🤡🤡🤡💥💥💥🔥🔥🔥🔥💔♥️💔♥️🫦🫦🫦
the best vn I've ever seen. looking forward for the new updates 😭
I yelped when I reached the "to be continued" frame. lol, cannot wait for the next update 😁
I dont like the amnesia Story line
Same it feels like rou and theo are falling apart
Hi there, this issue should've been fixed with our latest small update. Did you just download this today?
An error shows up when I tried playing the Halloween arc.
I couldn't replicate this issue when playing over the latest build. Could you provide more details on when this triggers and/or join the discord server so we can investigate this further?
lawrence
I would like to disagree with this statement.
The way i audibly went "NOOO" when i read 'To Be Continued'. Can't wait for the next update. 🙏
This keeps happening how do i fix this?
Let me look into the issue for you.
This issue has been fixed, and the download files has been updated.
Thanksssss
dang it i saw the update button before reading this (also dang u are ontop of these thats awesome dude
Is this tiger the new Regina George? Because it looks like (Personality)
that is so fetch
well it looks like Regina was wrong
Your screenshot shows Arcane Shop not Rain Check
oh cheese I choose the wrong one :)))
BYE ITS MY BIRTHDAY
Best present ever
New here, this one good?
yes, its GOOD
idk as of rn if their are other endings available but i just got the de[C]eption ending and man was that intense because i knew what was going before it happened it was like a car crash in slow motion lovely vn but i wish the mc was better at picking up on manipulation tactics that last day everything felt so off, god.
I think getting the [C] ending is kinda scripted since there's still multiple choices that's not currently available. So MAYBE the next update(s) when they become available we MIGHT be able to change things. Including the "oblivious to manipulation" part.
i really hope so tbh
I searched through the discord server and radcanine (developer) himself did say that the [C] ending is non-canon and more like a "What If" scenario where the character did mess up their decision
Anyway, the next update is literally around the corner now, let's wait and see where this is going.
tis and i cant wait for it asdop;,cdtuik,xsdrtyuilmnbvcxfuk
Mystery detective novels.The sense of substitution is quite strong. Looking forward to the follow-up clever reasoning, several events are still confusing at present, but you can still have a general grasp of this incident. What will happen in the end? I'm looking forward to it!
Thanks for the feedback!
How long will it be until build 10 is fully released? :3 I dont mind waiting but I am super excited to see where the story goes from the end of build 9 XD
The Patreon Build 10 Post said that Build 10 is releasing publicly on Sept 25
Welp I guess I am just blind... lol But thank you for telling me!! :3
A Very wonderful story. Hope that there is a happy ending in End A or End B.
Thank you for the feedback! We'll just have to wait and see
Such a beautiful game ❤️
Cool game!!
When is the next build.
Just around the corner, stay tuned!
6 hours ago :3
Damn... I felt like a brick wall hit me at the speed of sound...
Love story a bit rushed, but hey, sometime it just clicks and that's it!
I can seriously imagine my hands, slow but steady, tightening around Lawrence's neck... I got he was sleazy, but that sonavabitch went above and beyond in being a complete bastard...
Not a fan of Rou and Theodore splitting... Because man, making himself a shield to save Theodore's life, ending with him turned into a blank slate, with no memory of anything, just earned Rou a place in that romantic corner of my heart dedicated to characters that say I love you without saying it...
As for Jaime... He's a bit of a logical, working machine that leaves no room for emotions to thrive. Had he given into them maybe he didn't end up in the harbour...
David is a head in the clouds, goofy and but limited (so far).
Monti is very sweet and I'd like to see him thrive.
This said... I'm craving more... Great story, amazing characters (although I still want to break Lawrence's neck) and suspense enough to get us itching for more.
Great work!!!
Appreciate the feedback!
Sleeplessly typing this at 6:30 in the morning how could you do this to me Mr. Developer
I just need them to be happy (and Monti to be real) please
Me as fuck It's 4:20am and I just finished

I was worried we were reaching an ending so soon, but after the whole thing with the protests and mayhem going on in the city for at least another week i guess it's safe to assume this is just an early ending and we're around halfway through for the rest of the story. The remodels are looking good, specially kristoffer, i hope he becomes an ally at some point on the story although it doesn't seem likely.
some dude on roblox was playing and gatekeeping a song from this game, talking about sum "if anyone found out what game this song is, it would mess up my public image" as if he was popular or something.
Put him to shame :D
Spoiler alert
Does Rou can regain his memory?
Has anyone achieved an other ending other than ending C? I really need your experience, thank you
Spoiler alert
Lawrence, I want to see you die in the sea; or be imprisoned; or have your soul never reincarnated; or be killed by Theodore himself 🤗🤗🤗
pretty sure no other endings are developed yet
And when it comes out, the continuation of this excellent novel.
I kind of wish there was an in-game journal feature to help with remembering all the information and locations. Like the one they have in Devil's Gambit
damn, i havent been this betrayed since cooper and lance in rtf. overall, i'd say this seems very compelling, well-designed (and not just visually), and well-executed to me. the bones of this project are just as strong as the production value, and it is clearly not over-reliant on the strength of its visuals to attempt to distract readers from poor writing or story design, which is an unfortunately-common strategy among some developers. typos are also at a respectable minimum, which is another refreshing element. the serialized nature of vn updates as a writing medium obviously leaves many questions in the plot unanswered as the story continues to develop, but this project offers a salient opportunity for getting the inside view of the construction of a mystery story, while still withholding critical parts of itself from the reader's view. the temporary scaffolding structures are all there, but even so, the central mysteries of the story have still been kept concealed and won't be easily coaxed out. very good job. i will be paying closer attention to the update schedule of this project now that it's on my radar
Appreciate the feedback!
I just finished reading the novel and wow, amazing characters, interesting story and the soundtrack uff, however there was something that I found not so nice and that is that certain situations or ideas are raised creating expectation, but something always happens that prevents these situations are given; such as personal conversation with Rou, and it was quite frustrating.
I understand that the current ending is not the only one, so I really hope that in the other endings they work better on the interpersonal relationships and not create so much expectation if they don't plan to deal with the situation, but despite this it has many more good things so in general terms it´s a great novel.
P.D. Rou my beloved <3
A lot of these things (and many others) are planned in later builds! There's more to come, stay tuned!
can't wait! you have done a great job. ❤️
Just do tell me that ain't the canon route 😢
It's a bad ending so it's not canon.
Thank God it's just a bad ending then 🙏
There should be two more ending scenes or not as I thought. There are options that haven't been unlocked yet.
Or is it just the ending scene ( c )
I wonder if the options available in the novel that weren't available in the first episode will be able to be chosen?
