### 2/5 — FIX IT

*2026-08-16, version 5.5.1*

Absolutely ridiculous that there is no report button inside the game. You have to jump through hoops of nonsense questions and slow loading just to realize there’s no way to contact the developers unless through email. Worst part, they never answer emails or take literal years because they don’t care about foreign players. What a joke. 

FYI, the BGM on the Seeking Heart invitation is NOT WORKING. Fix it!!!

### 1/5 — Genshin writers need to get over themselves

*2026-08-13, version 5.5.1*

All the other Hoyoverse games let you decide when to skip stories. I’m not spending any money on Hoyo games until they do…

### 5/5 — Best mobile game I’ve ever played.

*2026-07-21, version 5.5.1*

Upon seeing the app icon of this game, I was immediately ensnared. As I read its description, I was determined to learn how closely it resembled Ace Attorney in terms of investigative mechanics and case cohesion, and I was not disappointed whatsoever. I deeply appreciate the visual novel aspect of Tears of Themis, especially in the main narrative and the Blossom stories. I find the future chapters (Sweet, Promise, and Dearest) to be rather stale in terms of gameplay and storytelling, but that is because I prefer having romance as a subplot to an overarching mystery narrative. The art is showstanding, musical instrumentals are appropriate and complementary (quite like the ambient instrumentals in Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom — never excessive or overpowering), voice acting quality is top-notch, and the story is compelling beyond belief. I enjoy playing casually with the F2P system, hoarding materials to upgrade/level up my cards to progress the plot gradually, given higher power outputs for the card decks. I would just say that it would be lovely if arrows were added to the Fieldwork locations, so as to make it easier to navigate between districts instead of having the player press the ‘Back’ arrow and renavigate. Additionally, doing your dailies can get tedious and mind-numbing rather quickly, so if you have disposable income, you may want to invest in the monthly fund.

Overall, a fantastic game. The characters are incredibly well-written and provide much fodder for pondering the four different temperaments and human complexities. Luke Pearce / Xia Yan captured my heart. If you play this game, I hope that you can beget some enjoyment out of it and conduct some meaningful reflections thereafter.

### 4/5 — impressive ui & vivid storytelling (not for kids!!)

*2026-07-05, version 5.5.0*

i returned to this game after a long time and am impressed with how far it has come since its first release. LOVE the user interface of the events, especially “island suspense”.

 the chat design is like mystic messenger but better, however the texts come a little too fast.

i’ll be updating my review as i continue to play the game, but it’s definitely one of the best otome i’ve ever played because it doesn’t feel cheesy or cringe like some others. you can tell that the artists put a lot of time and care into the game.
however, this game is definitely Not for kids as it has themes such as drugs/suicide/murder.

### 5/5 — Marius my king

*2026-06-14, version 5.5.0*

I love this game bro

### 1/5 — Very Poor Programming

*2026-06-14, version 5.5.0*

Not worth playing in 2026.
Ignoring how this game has always had major bugs.
From weekly missions end date jumping between Friday or Saturday. When I reported the bug  the response was it depended on events. No other games weekly missions changes the day it ends cause what they consider what a week is doesn’t change! Fortunately, after months of the issue, they fixed it.

I told them that their health app event was broken. Even sent them a video of the bug and they forward me to suggestions that doesn’t even allow for video. Suggestions proceed to ask me to make a YouTube video in private.
They simply ignored fixing it and reused the poorly made event 4 times for each guy. I am so done with this game that can’t be bothered to test if their events even work!

They also can’t even make a survey correctly! They make a long surveys but if you stay too long in the survey. It begins to massively lag.

I feel so done with this game after I put so much effort providing evidence on the 3rd time that broken event showed up. Only for it to appear again with the same bugs. It is a simple fix but they can’t be bothered to fix their event after months. Just reusing the same broken code over and over again.

Absolutely trash programming or ai programming. Don’t waste your time or money on a game like this.

### 1/5 — Can’t get past title page

*2026-06-05, version 5.5.0*

I logged in and everything, press tap to start but nothing happens. I have no idea why

### 1/5 — Genshin writers need to get over themselves

*2026-05-27, version 5.5.0*

### 5/5 — keep up the good work

*2026-05-06, version 5.5.0*

been playing for 5 years on and off. this game is valuable and many of us still are active and appreciate it!
