Smart, funny, and just the right difficulty level
Wed Oct 21 2026 Amy FKI had no idea what to expect. A game based on a 19th-century Brazilian novel? How does that even work? BRILLIANTLY. That’s how. Storyline is updated to the 1930s, and the character arcs and plot points are essentially intact. You’re a detective in 1935 Rio de Janeiro, commissioned by Bras Cubas from beyond the grave to solve his own murder. Move through Rio’s nicer and more sordid districts, interviewing suspects and collecting clues. The catch? You’re in a time loop. You carry the knowledge from previous loops with you, but physical objects don’t survive from one loop to the next. It’s a common trope done really well here. The puzzles and logic are moderate-to-difficult. Add to that the clean, hand-drawn art and top-notch music and sound design, and the result is a masterpiece. This first run took me around 20 hours. I will definitely play this again. Maybe right now!

Thu Oct 01 2026 WhyDoIHaveToHaveANickname…So far this game has actually been really good! I honestly wasn’t expecting much and had low expectations considering it is a mobile game, however it’s actually very intriguing and I do wanna get down to the mystery! Very fun and great dialogue and the art is amazing. Very good concept with the time mechanic and other things. Excellent story so far, and the execution is really well done too! I’ll be purchasing the full game when I can and I highly encourage others to do so too.
Fun characters and storytelling

Solid game
Sat Oct 10 2026 SteffayesThe game was great, but tbh I was a little disappointed in the ending. After all that work, there wasn’t a specific killer. It’s just who you decide it was, wish I could’ve uncovered the actual truth rather than us deciding. But overall the game was extremely addicting and fun
Such a fun game!
