Occult cases unfold within a dark bookstore setting.
Illustrated character art uses a comic-inspired visual style.

Cons

Long dialogue sequences slow progress through each case.
Investigative elements remain shallow within a largely linear visual novel.
Individual cases have uneven quality and resolutions.
Multiple supernatural concepts and story threads complicate the broader plot.
