The Case Book of Arne

I bought and played this game (roughly $12 bundling the base game + DLC) in preparation for the anime, currently airing at the time of writing. In relation to the anime, the entirety of this "Case 1" is adapted in episodes 2-5, with seemingly all other episodes being anime-original. Sadly, it seems that the Interlude DLC was glossed over. The game itself was a fun little murder mystery. Classic set-up: a murder among the family and staff at a noble mansion. And here, the detective that steals the show is a vampire. And the heiress who hired him is a vampire-fanatic. The story was fairly satisfying, funny, and left opened-ended plotlines for further installments, which eventually may or may not include what is currently airing in the anime. I didn't find the gameplay perfect... it's one of those games that has no achievements, and you can't screenshot purely by your hotkey. Other than linearly playing through the story, which isn't punishing at all, the only extra content you can really explore is to play through different deduction & mini-game segments with Lynn PERFECTLY to unlock a couple of extra non-sense fluff scenes after the credits. So don't be like me and actually make good use of the different save slots for that reason. And this is a small game, an actual RPG Maker title that I am playing on a potato computer, but I find it lagging too much for the climatic fight - something I didn't think possible in this engine. That all being said, it's a cute, cheap RPG Maker title with a mystery that kept me guessing, and it got picked up for other mediums, so I'll be keeping a close eye on the franchise from now on.

劇情還算精彩，但剪影太少了，[spoiler]有點不值 [/spoiler]，我沒有對Japan帶有偏見，但令我氣憤的是，有些内容被説成來自日本的，第二章裏的“養不熟的看家狗，喂不飽的白眼狼”俗語來自中國（大陸）明清時期；還有些古語（古詩詞）是冷笑話？漢化組（製作組）有些侮辱他國文化了吧。

其实游戏质量还算不错，但第二章结尾女主莫名其妙就白给了很离谱，最重要的是后面的篇章啥时候汉化能更新啊，动画都开播了我更新呢？

不是哥们，你更新啊，做都做了不端上来也太不厚道了（恼）
