I Reeeaaally enjoyed solving the murder mystery with Tails! such a fun and amazing game. Rest in peace Sonic. And Happy Birthday to Amy!
pretty fun and quick little game. you kind of have to like the sonic characters for it to click with you, it sort of rides on the character interactions. works perfectly on steam deck with a lil awkwardness here and there (mainly the THINK! games). wish theyd make another honestly.
Played on release ages ago. Nice simple visual novel. Would've liked some silly achievements and stuff but overall pretty good game.
