I played both staffer case and retro, and I enjoyed both games I think the character writing and the plot is better in retro But the deduction process is more enjoyable in staffer case All in all still an enjoyable experience I love chapter 3 a lot it’s really well done the art is also pretty lovely 9/10 would recommend this game 我玩過前作覺得Staffer retro 的故事劇情和人物描寫做得更好了不過推理方面我比較喜歡前作整體來說還是很好玩的由其第三章真的寫的很好挺推介的
