I'm conflicted about this game. It's not something I expected, and I personally don't like the gameplay. But that's because I expected it to be something other than what it is. I bought it looking for a game like Shadow Tactics, Desperados or Commandos. Instead, I got an Invisible Inc. where you basically have to be stealthy 24/7 and any combat is absolutely devastating to your characters (sanity loss, finite resources). It's not a bad game by any means, but you should have a clear understanding of its genre before buying it.

Pros:
- Awesome art, environments and character design.
- The story is really unique and the writing is good.
- You can customize your characters by choosing different abilities.

Cons:
- Stealth is basically the only viable option.
- Hard to control multiple characters at once since the game is real-time, not turn-based.
- Characters are far too fragile, both mentally and physically. In many cases, it's literally impossible to avoid losing your sanity. On top of that, there is an automatic sanity loss every day.

The best game in the hidden object genre. Interesting stories, amazing and extremely detailed art, dynamic locations.

My only complaint is the annoying mini-games. They're not particularly challenging and appear far too often, completely distracting from the main flow of the game.

Body Type A and Body Type B

Bad: The game is fun but suffers from overly ambitious game design. Many systems are under-cooked clearly due to a low budget / lack of time. The story and dialogues are ultra-cringe but it's somewhat expected for anime fan-service game.

Good: Combat is fast, with plenty of skills and combos. The difficulty curve is pretty good. Nevertheless, the core gameplay is solid if you like metroidvanias.

Buy if you like the genre, otherwise skip.

The post-release support is great. Devs continuously release updates, new features and assets for free. Amazing software!

I love this game and looking forward to Dandylion's next work.
