VN - Ren'Py - Completed - Risky investigation [v1.0] [Dloohi]

It's a cute game (edging on kinetic novel), if with some first timer issues (inconsistent art for the MC, dialogue scenes with the bottom character art cut off).

It is also, of course, extremely linear, with no meaningful replay value.

Still, better to make a short, sweet game rather than getting lost trying to make a magnum opus that'll never be complete.

And that's exactly what it is. A short, sweet game.

I like slow burn of the game, I like story, I like intrigue, the problem is, that game ends right when it gets to the point. I would give this game a 3*, but suppose its author's first try, I'll give another one to encourage him, so its 4* from me.

This game wants a balancing act, investigate every clickable area and you get the spank scenes (the only H images here) so you have to choose what you think is necessary... Or pick everything then do a second 10 minute playthrough where you get the minima to discover... no changes, a few lines change here and there to explain you avoiding the spanking scenes but the ending remains the same and you can't change the flow of the story.

The only really interactive part, the final interrogation does have a few paths as in, several pieces of evidence you found can be used to dismantle what he says. Get enough and you get rewarded by another spank scene though it's husband here so... yay for equality?

TLDR: game doesn't lie in its description, investigate and risk spanking but understand that there is only one ending and you can't change anything.
(I'd 30 40 minutes playtime)

PS: I will add that with every piece of evidence you discover to heighen your paranoia, I'm almost disappointed with the ending.
It was like reading an Agatha Christy book only for the murder to be resolved by "it was a prank lmao" at the veryend and everyone was in it.
