Our take on 久美子之死：昭和少女血色告白
The focus on a visual-novel investigation gives the story room for 250,000 words and more than 10 endings, but leaves little space for active deduction mechanics. The branching structure also makes the experience depend on reading choices and narrative developments rather than repeated gameplay systems.
