Play the Case of the Golden Idol series instead! ### 3/5 — 日本語の翻訳が分かりづらい *2026-10-16* 操作性もいいし面白いとは思うけど、日本語の翻訳がおかしいところが多く、ストーリーがすんなり入ってこない。課金しただけに少し残念。 ### 3/5 — Wanted a detective game *2026-10-09* Wanted a detective game but instead got a very repetitive game because of the time loop. You talk to people, which takes time, you just choose every dialogue option and present every clue. Nothing tactical about it. You run out of time and do the same the next day. Also you need to be in certain areas at certain times to get clues. So if you miss that, start the day again, oh yes and grind all the items you need too. Not that fun after a while. ### 3/5 — Jogo bom, mas é pago *2026-10-09* Jogabilidade muito boa, gráficos excelentes mas 34,90 num jogo eu não pago kkkkkk mas parabéns aos desenvolvedores, quando ficar gratuito eu volto ### 4/5 — Solid game *2026-10-11* The game was great, but tbh I was a little disappointed in the ending. After all that work, there wasn’t a specific killer. It’s just who you decide it was, wish I could’ve uncovered the actual truth rather than us deciding. But overall the game was extremely addicting and fun ### 4/5 — Жаль то что платно *2026-10-07* Жаль то что платно ### 5/5 — muito bom! uma pena ser pago *2026-10-31* totalmente brasilêro, muito bom! ### 5/5 — Really good *2026-10-28* I’m loving this game, I like the style, characters and gameplay. There is much more to it than the previous reviewer implied. Depending on who you ask about what will further your story and certain items are more important used with certain characters or at specific places/ times. I like the way the story unfolds throughout your gameplay and if you forget something you have another chance to try an outcome the next day. I also love the noir feel to the graphics, music and narration. There are far too few story driven games on iOS let’s support those with originality. ### 5/5 — Smart, funny, and just the right difficulty level *2026-10-21* I had no idea what to expect. A game based on a 19th-century Brazilian novel? How does that even work? BRILLIANTLY. That’s how. Storyline is updated to the 1930s, and the character arcs and plot points are essentially intact. You’re a detective in 1935 Rio de Janeiro, commissioned by Bras Cubas from beyond the grave to solve his own murder. Move through Rio’s nicer and more sordid districts, interviewing suspects and collecting clues. The catch? You’re in a time loop. You carry the knowledge from previous loops with you, but physical objects don’t survive from one loop to the next. It’s a common trope done really well here. The puzzles and logic are moderate-to-difficult. Add to that the clean, hand-drawn art and top-notch music and sound design, and the result is a masterpiece. This first run took me around 20 hours. I will definitely play this again. Maybe right now! ### 5/5 — Such a fun game! *2026-10-17* Please tell me another game like this will be coming out! I would love a sequel! ## Most praised reviews (6 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — maravilhoso! *2026-10-13* Extraordinariamente bom! Parabéns pelo jogo brasileiro que surgiu através de um livro com anos de história do brasil, podendo trazer o passado para outros países ! algo inovador e revolucionário, vocabulário e narração ótimos, tinha que ganhar prêmio! merecido os 24 reais. ### 5/5 — Честный отзыв *2026-10-10* Игра интересная, но полная версия почти тысячу стоит совсем с ума сошли, это ведь не на консоль игра, а то не две тысячи. Еще такие пишут 80% скидка, а начальная цена указана в два раза меньше. Что то у вас с цифрами. Конечно же я не собираюсь за мобильную игру столько отдавать и не один здравомыслящий человек не будет. **Developer response:** Спасибо, что сообщили нам об ошибке! Приносим извинения за путаницу с ценами. Мы уже исправили проблему, и теперь цены отображаются корректно. Спасибо за ваше понимание и поддержку! ### 5/5 — Одобрено *2026-10-07* Так-то прикольно, но хотел купить полную версию, а там 499 рублей зачеркнута цена, написана цена 899, и это типа со скидкой в 80 процентов, кек **Developer response:** Спасибо, что сообщили нам об ошибке! Приносим извинения за путаницу с ценами. Мы уже исправили проблему, и теперь цены отображаются корректно. Спасибо за ваше понимание и поддержку! ### 5/5 — Fun characters and storytelling *2026-10-06* literally could not put my phone down until i uncovered the layered mysteries in this game. one of the more fun detective games i’ve played in a while! ### 5/5 — Um ótimo jogo *2026-10-06* Um jogo muito bom, com puzzles de qualidade e principalmente um roteiro impecável, fazendo uma ótima referência à um dos melhores clássicos brasileiros! Muito bom, a parte ruim é que é pago, mas vale a pena! ### 5/5 — Review *2026-10-01* So far this game has actually been really good! I honestly wasn’t expecting much and had low expectations considering it is a mobile game, however it’s actually very intriguing and I do wanna get down to the mystery! Very fun and great dialogue and the art is amazing. Very good concept with the time mechanic and other things. Excellent story so far, and the execution is really well done too! I’ll be purchasing the full game when I can and I highly encourage others to do so too. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
