A remaster of one of Suda51's first games, this game is a visual novel that follows a string of police cases linked to a serial killer named Kamui Uehara. The two protagonists are a silent hero from the Special Defense Force named by the player and Tokio Morishima, a freelance journalist. The hero's story is the main story of the game while Tokio's story provides more insight into the cases from a different perspective.

The story, atmosphere, and soundtrack are all top-notch and deserve the praise it gets. The real divisive part of the game is its controls - when it isn't dealing out dialogue, it has a very outdated control scheme that is very out of place these days. A lot of time spent in this mode could have been better if the game was remade or it was just replaced with all text. Not a big fan of the ending either, but hopefully the sequel solves that problem. There's definitely a sequel hook added into this new version with an extra chapter to bridge the gap between this game and the 25th Ward. Which I have purchased and will definitely play at some point, as I'm interested into how this continues.

I definitely recommend this if you're a VN fan or like Suda51's games as it definitely hits both of those boxes. The adventure mode control scheme is annoying to deal with, but it's definitely not a deal breaker. Try this game out when you have a chance!
