When you have time do you mind going into some detail about what you didn't like?

it really spoil the culprit so beware

the culprit itself are outside the casts that are shown in the game. so all the suspects the game gave you are dead ends. you still have to investigate properly or else you cannot pin the crime on the culprit (i have seen people said they got alot of thing wrong, and the whole police precinct think you are a drunk, crazy has been that randomly accuse people and basically get the bad ending because alot of the points in the investigations are missing)

the best thing you can do is guess that the culprit isn't one of these people. the character of the culprit itself is fine, his confrontation is amazing, well written and if you correctly collect evidences the puzzle fit perfectly.

i think my problem with it is violate the detective genre convention that the culprit must be established early in the story and a part of the cast, and that take a bit of fun in guessing yourself.

there is a but. if you really investigate properly, you will always come to the conclusion (not shown in game, but your own deduction) that it is impossible for any of the main cast and suspects be the culprit because the pieces don't fit. but yeah, the convention is more of a guideline, and the main villain is a great character if you compare to everyone else. their existences are also hinted everywhere in the game if you pay attention but you just don't physically meet them until the end


there is also one major confrontation in game

where certain people always die no matter what you do. you can affect the process and outcome, like how many died, and how bad the damage is, but the script always determine at the very least 3 people will die, whereas the rest of the game are very free investigating

@Leanaunfurled

imo these 2 moments made it a bit disappointing, but the game made up with all the other part being so great. even those 2 moments that i feel weaker compared to the rest of the game are still well written and presented very well.

i dunno if they can or ever tweak it, but i know a little tweak that would make it alot better. it is also probably artistic decision, but i dunno, you judge yourself.
