绝对的推荐,目前只玩了第一章,感觉已经值回售价了 多重反转,戏剧结尾,真正的做到了跌宕起伏的剧情和完美的演出效果 我希望这又是一个让我不能忘怀的上月球的故事,就像《边缘行者》和《去月球》
campfireしてよかった 今回は主人公が捜査官ではなく、物語は事件捜査ではないので推理も優しめ。相変わらず総当たりも可。 ただまあシリーズのメインストリーム2作目なのでStafferCaseからやってほしいなと
솔직히 추리게임으로서는 아쉽다. 비주얼 노벨이라고 생각하는 게 좋은듯.

너무 재밌었스빈다 후속작 언제나와ㅏㅏ
진짜 미쳤구나 빨리 이 테트라포드 사가의 엔딩을 내게 보여다오
幹第三章有夠毛 怎麼不是韓語配音 以為是韓語配音結果是日文有點小失望
[h1]魅力的なキャラクター達[/h1] 他の人達が書いてるように、前作を遊んでたほうがより楽しめる。 前作が本格推理だったの対して、こちらは物語重視。 キャラクター達はかなり癖が強いが、全員大好きになった。 主人公含め全員が善人である必要も中立である必要も無いし、それぞれの倫理や信条で動いている。 モブなんておらず、全員がサイドストリーで主人公になれるぐらい魅力的。 声優さん達も本当にマッチしすぎてて配役がすばらしい。 それにしても、韓国のゲームスタジオ開発のソフトだけど、音声があるのは日本語のみというのが面白い。とにかく作ってくれて大感謝! 今後の続編も期待しています。
다음 작품을 또 기다려야 된다는게 이게임의 유일한 단점임 100%추리 게임이라고는 하기에는 추리파트가 빈약하긴 하지만 추리 비쥬얼 노벨이라고 생각하면 스테퍼 시리즈 만큼의 필력을 보여준 게임이 없는거 같음 보통 내예상 범주에서 얼마나 벗어나는지를 보는데 50프로 이상 벗어난 참신한 작품 이였음 개발자님들 베링 주먹질하는거 이모티콘으로 내주세요
It's peak.
At the moment of leaving this review, I have only reached the end of Act 3, and will add on to this review at a later date. Staffer Retro is the next major instalment of the Staffer Series, a story based detective mystery game which questions the morals of truth. As this is a story based game, I will limit the spoilers to a minimum, but will discuss the general themes of Retro. Retro, similarly to Staffer Case, insights thoughts on whether revealing the truth to oneself or the world is truly always good, as evil intentions can hide behind a fabricated mask. I believe the gameplay is also significantly improved with the documents being separated into “evidence” and “tasks”. This made me understand what to look out for in each section, while retaining a reasonable level of challenge. The improved hint system is also much appreciated, as each element can be hinted for individually. Finally, the titles of specific sections such as [spoiler]Restory, Retro deduction, Retro Dark side, Restory Retro[/spoiler] sort the puzzle solving sections into similar types, which gives a general idea of what to focus on. However, there are some aspects that could be improved upon. In particular, the [spoiler] sequence in Act 2 when Vering says “Go on without me” and “please just leave me” are translated as “置いてかないで” and “見捨てないで”, both translating to “[i]don’t[/i] leave me”.[/spoiler] I am currently unsure which is incorrect, but I am inclined to believe that the voice acting is less likely to be wrong. Additionally, the [spoiler]shock from Verita and Vero indicate Vering selflessly asking Verita to escape alone to get help[/spoiler] is unusual. Thus double checking the translation of this part may improve the clarity for English readers.
