Finished today! A good story with charming characters and a great ending.
Pretty recommended if you are looking for a good mystery story.

Chapter 1 completed. So far, plot is interesting and characters are likable. It looks it won't be unnecessary long, too.

This is the least interactive visual novel I've played. It at least has a good story and fun characters to follow. It's a mystery story. There are several mysteries to resolve over the course of the game most of which are murder mysteries. There are two main characters to play as with separate connected stories that must be completed in one playthrough to progress to the end. The gameplay consists of selecting which location to go to, selecting which person to talk to or object to observe to collect clues, and then interrogating persons of interest using clues gathered to resolve the mystery.
The story is really fun, but it can drag at times. Especially in the final part. The game also has an issue where it won't say exactly where to go leading me to visit every location until some event happens. The number of locations to visit is always small, so this wasn't too big of an issue.
The game is fully voice acted, but it only has Japanese voice overs. I had to read everything anyways, but it's at least good to know the tone in which dialogue is said. There are also many typos throughout which was weird.
