About


A puppy named Teddy, found dead under mysterious circumstances. Master Reed, vanished in a bustling temple fair crowd. Years of grudges festering at the Shipwreck Wharf. Scattered newspapers and handwritten notes in an unknown prison... Traverse the eclectic districts of Dark Tide City and investigate a string of bizarre cases.
Recover the city's lost memories. Piece together the truth behind the city's fracture ten years ago. Kill. Judge. Or perhaps… kiss(?) the mastermind.


It pairs 3D HD environments with 2D pixel characters, creating a striking modern-vs-retro visual style, and offers a wide range of freely explorable locations across distinct districts, including the rusting steel jungle of a long-shuttered factory, the muddy Shipwreck Wharf built on stilts, the floating slum of the Pig Cage Walled City where Chinese tradition and neon lights bleed into one another, and the bustling, crowded streets of the Old Town District.


Freely choose how to improve your abilities: Strength, Spirit, Charm. Pick your own approach to each case: Play mind games? Grease some palms? Or just beat a confession out of the suspect?
Deduction System: Gather, analyze, and connect the clues. Craft your own unique investigation trail!


Meet the people of Dark Tide City and uncover the stories behind their masks... whether it's the sanctimonious Captain Theo, the fiery young Axel Flint (son of Griff Flint), the defiant Rafe Carter, the cheerful shutterbug Kiki, the elegant Mrs. Reed, the rumored hex-casting Priestess, the warm-hearted fishmonger Auntie Bass, or the foul-mouthed little rascal Chiffon.

The Shadow: A strange creature clinging to your back. It reads memories and reconstructs the traces of the dead.
"Don't worry, Lucas. We're just using each other. You use me to find the killer, and me? I love nothing more than feasting on the bizarre tales. Hahaha—!"

总体还是不错的,从很早玩demo开始给这部游戏给足了预期,玩了一段时间总感觉还差点意思(希望之后继续打下去还能给我惊喜)。有些世界观的塑造有点摸不着头脑,想表达一些内容也没表达出来。有些部分大白话的对话也比较表面也挺容易懂。方言美术立绘给到顶级,有配音,也比较贴近生活,虽然很多人物或者对话非常刻板印象但是这何尝不是生活里遇到的。总感觉人物塑造还差一点有些过于扁平工具人化。感觉影子的设定感觉有点不及预期。评分能给到7/10的样子。解密什么的都非常容易不烧脑很适合就当一部剧情类游戏玩。 但是作为女玩家,感官总体塑造的各种人物非常男频(不是贬义QAQ),可能很多女玩家会劝退。
เป็นเกมทีคนอื่นเล่นอาจจะใช้เวลาน้อยกว่านี้ แต่เราเล่นแล้วใช้เวลาไปเยอะพอควรเพราะพยายามจะช่วยป๋าในตอนจบให้ได้ และใช่...ตัวเลือกสำคัญ ทำตุยไป 3 ตัวไม่รวมตัวที่บังคับตุยตามเนื้อเรื่องนะ เนื้อหาเกมค่อนข้างเข้มเลย งานภาพถือว่าแนวดี แต่ในส่วนของ story branch map อยากให้มันต่อจากที่ผู้เล่นเล่นไว้ด้วยเพราะดูเหมือนจะเอาข้อมูลจากเซฟไหนมาไม่รู้
好玩。文案功底非常扎实,案子既符合常理,也有深层次的谜团深思,可以敷衍结案,也可以查清最终的真相。难能可贵的是从第一章到最后一章 都有人物语音,制作非常用心, 拼劲全力查清所有事情的真相,把问题全解决了。但无法证明神女怀孕,这怎么证明啊,有知道的吗
还有恋爱模拟环节
第一章反转的震撼确实是很优秀,但是后续像那些公开审判啊我认为有些俗套了。游戏的魅力武力的系统我觉得也能深挖一下。整体游戏体验还是可以的,那个线索连线的提示确实很有用,最后我懒的动脑了就全靠那个。
剧本拉完了
