Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
There are some aspects of the story that doesn’t make sense, was a bit of a stretch, or wished it was included; but it has really cute graphics, good voice acting, good detective mechanics, surprisingly harder than you’d expect based on how it looks and the tutorial deductions are, and a story that’ll keep you interested until the end.

Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
This game is way too hard, i thought cause of the cute art style it would be a quick and easy, fun detective game, but i was surely mistaken, after 23 hours and still on the first clue, i strongly believe that you would need years of actual detective work to be able to play this game, im struggling and in pain, if you decide to get this game i wish the best for you, may your mind be quick and ready, good luck ducktectives
