    No dragonmaids 0/10 But seriosly .. Detective Kobayashi is indeed detective VN. It's originaly chinese game, the translation is ok even if it's rough around the edges but the deeper you go, you discover many problems ... like there is testemony where guy says that he doesn't know who lives in flat nextdoor but he heard noises from there, but the clue item says that he didnt hear anythng .... that makes you wonder…

    The game starts out fine in the first two chapters, but then it changes gears into a puzzle solving scenario in chapter three. I don't mind puzzle solving when it is done fairly, but there are some puzzles that are pretty much impossible to figure out without a walkthrough. Like the infamous "drop the butterknife in the forest" in Mystery House, once the puzzle solving goes illogical, it is no longer fun to play.
