The Murder Hotel

I am not this far into the game right now, but I really like what I experienced so far. Story is egaging, characters are interesting, and mysteries keep coming.

I enjoyed this one quite a bit. I think you can see a bit of the timeline within the game of how the developers worked on it during production, as some parts that were less fun showed up less and less over time. While this can make a few parts somewhat disjointed, the overall story is fun, characters are (mostly) interesting, and the mysteries are fun to figure out while still being challenging. Its also a pretty good price for its length (mine was a bit longer as I was wandering around a bit and replayed a few sections, but a bit over 20 hours seems right for a good length).

This was such a wonderful love letter to the mystery genre. Particularly as an Umineko fan, this was such a treat to play. I do wish there was a bit more active gameplay in the later half of the game, but I found the story engaging enough that I was still completely locked in anyway.
