Unfortunately, I just can't recommend the game. The plot is incredibly lazy. You get what's happened maybe 30 minutes in, and the next 4 hours or so you just gather clues to prove your theory. I was hoping for some twist, but it never happened. So, basically, it fails miserably as a detective story. Still, many crime stories just pretend to be detectives to tell us psychological stories about broken families, mental health issues and so on. Is this one of these stories? Nope, not at all. The characters are one-dimensional, and no, they won't get any further development in emails and text messages, Sharp Objects or Gone Girl it is not.

I was lucky enough to play through the whole game without any glitches, so no complains here. The visuals are pleasing enough, but I just don't get it, the interiors are a bit retro even by the 2020's standards, laptops are from our time, how is this futuristic?

Gameplay is pretty solid - that is, if you don't mind pure exploration games. Sure, there are some light puzzles, but I doubt you'll ever get stuck; still, personally, I don't mind this approach at all, it's calm and relaxing. I'd be quite pleased with the game were it not so shallow and predictable.
