## AI Review Analysis

Analyzed Sep 1, 2026

### Strengths

- AI NPCs maintain their personalities and emotions while responding to questions and presented evidence, creating the feeling of talking to real people.
- Text input and microphone support enable freer interrogation and interaction than in traditional detective games.
- Characters’ attitudes and parts of the case flow change depending on choices and conversational approaches, while detailed clues and dialogue are interconnected.

### Weaknesses

- Critical bugs are repeatedly reported that can halt the game or cause players to lose hours of progress and save files.
- The AI sometimes invents nonexistent facts, responds inconsistently to the same questions, or fails to properly recognize dialogue progress.
- Although the game promotes free-form dialogue, actual story progression is tied to specific objectives and keywords, making it less free than expected.
