The concept and pacing of the debut work
Xiaoshuang Yuyin designed this work as a yuri mystery comedy full of contrasts, unfolding with a fast pace and dense density of short stories while balancing reasoning and humor. The idea came from inspiration during the writing of a long novel. The first draft of the script took about a day to complete, followed by special effects and text retouching, and revisions based on feedback from friends. This is the author's first publicly released game, and most of the content outside of the text is free material.
Pseudo-solutions and early test feedback
Bangumi player 문밀감 (account shameimaru_aya) described multiple layers of pseudo-solutions and the use of in-game and off-screen settings in a review dated March 7, 2026. The yuri relationship runs throughout the story and serves as an introduction, while the mysteries take up the main portion. The review also reviewed feedback from the earliest beta: key settings and final puzzles were presented rather subtlely, making it difficult for some players to understand the ending, and the author subsequently tried to adjust the performance.
The reversal of reasoning rules
In a March 2026 record by player Wu 46, the story once used Knox's Ten Commandments to rule out a possible reasoning, but then this limitation was reversed.
A parody reference for detective works
In the March 2026 record by player Yudi, the suspense and detective games referenced and recorded them as "Judgment," "Umineko," "Reversal," "Dangan," and the Time Reincarnation series.
