Review	Fucking zenith media. Uchikoshi continuing to prove why freebase is the best writing tool of all time, cause this shit is off the fuckin goop. Even though "objectively" it might not be a 10, no other writer will ever be this funny while being genuinely compelling. Mizuki continues to be a gem every single second she's on screen but everyone plays off the rest of the cast in enjoyable ways. Our other protagonist, Ryuki, is maybe the most fucked up man alive. He's so severely mentally ill that he should be committed, much less being a cop. He frequently spaces out for hours at a time, coming to in the exact spot that he passed out at. The serial killings are genuinely compelling and the twist is the most batshit insane thing I've seen a video game pull in a long time. Just play it.
