      A detective visual novel in VR with some gameplay

      If you like anime and detective stories then you should enjoy this. There is a decent story here but there is not much gameplay - you mostly walk between several locations and talk to people or investigate the scenes. There are just couple of segments that require some sneaking or throwing something. And the throwing is off in PSVR2 unfortunately - you either throw too close or too far. Also this game (all 3 episodes) is pretty long so patience is required because there are a lot of unskippable animations or transitions between dialogue and free movement. And after a while this might get annoying. The music is fine with some upbeat vibes, nicely done. The graphics are ok - there is no reprojection (90fps probably) and the resolution is just fine. Generally I liked it - there are not many games like this on PS VR2.

      In Episode I, you play as Special Supervisor Hal Scion, tasked with unraveling the mystery threatening to plunge the city into disaster.

      You live in Astrum Close. An artificial marine city sealed off from the outside world under a vast dome. This safe haven is seen as the last paradise for humanity as it stands on the brink of destruction.

      Astrum Close is a scientifically-advanced city that has a 0.001% crime rate. Revolutionary new technology predicts crime before it ever happens, thanks to the tireless efforts of city founder Albert Rumford.

      But the very foundations of Astrum Close are shaken when Rumford himself is found murdered in a crime that by all rights should not have been possible.

      Your name is Hal Scion, and you are an investigator with a difference. You are known as a "variant human", a person who has the unique ability to both see into and alter the past. And your unique skills are exactly what is needed now.

      There'll be menacing forces that will test your mental agility. Hide, Run, Sneak and escape from danger as you gather evidence. Then accuse the perpetrators in exciting courtroom sequences where you must prove their culpability even when they’re fighting you every step of the way.
