An absolute masterpiece. ❤️

It's been around 3 years since I played and it still has such a special place in my heart. The Prison Boys is a FANTASTIC game. Everything from the story, the music, to the characters, to the puzzles and gameplay, trust me you WILL get attached ESPECIALLY to the characters (oh my god I can go on and on about Naoya Mitsuru Nagi and Tetsu all day 😭🩵). Literally this game will make you cry from its storytelling, hands down the best game I have ever played in my life. an absolute recommend for everyone!

God the ending

This story is beautiful. The ending was so tragic and moving and I cried. The characters were wonderfully drawn and animated and the music really heightened the whole story. 10/10, would play again

never been so invested

ive only had the game for a few days, and at first i only downloaded it because of the art style and the ratings… shallow, i know :”)
anyways, when i started playing- oh my god
i had no clue itd be a mystery game since i never read the description, so chapter 1 left me winded. to be honest, i havent had the time just yet to go through much of the rest of the story, but ive been constantly thinking about it.
really, the only thing i wish theyd add is a gallery for the CGs shown through the story, even the… uh.. death scenes……
maybe there is one and i just havent found it yet? im not sure, but id really appriciate it!
anyways, if youre still considering getting this game, pLEASE TRY IT OUT!!! there are ads, but theyre SO much more tolerable in amount compared to other mobile games!
all in all, i love this game so far, and im so excited to see how the story progresses each time :DD

GREAT GAME

One of the most compelling visual novel games! I love the other works from this developer as well, the storyline is very well-written and all the characters are interesting.

Real Tearjerker

I have played every other title in the SEEC mystery series (not including Tsumugu Logic) but damn. This made me the most surprised and the saddest out of all of them. Those plot twists were VERY well done and didn’t come out left field. And probably the fact this is based on a real event made me so sad and feel for the characters. Not even Tasokare Hotel or Yotsume God was this smart or depressing (still very good games on their own, go check them out too!)
But every time my 5 tickets ran out, I would get so annoyed! Please extend the 10 day ticket campaign to an indefinite amount of time, like Tasokare Hotel.
Well done, devs!

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! Never wanted it to end!!

This is by far my FAVORITE Seec game! I looked forward to okaying it every day! Absolutely incredible engaging story, lovable characters you get super attached to quickly, challenging creative puzzles, and so many chapters and different routes you have to figure out how to unlock! I also love the practically all male cast. Refreshing to have boys as the protagonists rather than girls for a change. I wish they’d make an anime of this because it’s just THAT good! I’m so upset I finished it! I wish I could forget all of it just so I could play the entire thing over again! Please make more games like this!

one of my fav games

i was looking for some otome games to play and i just happened to find this game and i’m so happy i did! the animation looks amazing and the plot is rlly interesting not to mention the investigation aspects are fun yet challenging :))

❤️

One of the best game of Seec. It’s worth to download. I love how I can learn the historical of Japan while enjoy in playing it.

Masterpiece

I never knew that perfection could take the form of an app. And im not lying, the puzzles were hard but fun, the game was suspenseful, and always kept me begging for more. Was a really fun experience!!

WOOOOO

Oh my gosh, that was so good, like i just got the good/true ending and i’m like tearing up bro, that was like a wild ride. The amount of times i was screaming “NOOOO” because our friends died, it was just really, it was a rollercoaster of emotions. Like that’s it. It was sooooo much fun oh my gosh, i loved it, thank you for bestowing this upon me.

Really intriguing for a story game!

I don’t usually play otome games or anything similar to them cause my attention span can’t take anything that isn’t immediately exciting, but this game pulled me in with the first couple of short intriguing chapters. I haven’t played games that aren’t full of stories focused on romance so this was interesting and new. I really recommend this to you if solving mysteries and murders are your thing!

Fantastic historical story with a lot of payoff

I just finished the true ending, and I feel really satisfied with the game. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed all the puzzles, it has interesting and likable characters, and overall, the translation is good. I’ve downloaded some other SEEC games, and I’d always be happy to find more as interesting as this.

Amazing story! You should totally get this app

This game is so amazing! Highly recommend you to get it.

Everything from the characters, the music, plot, and mysteries were breathtaking! If you are a person who loves solving mysteries, interrogating people, interactive stories, or are just looking for a good game, then this game is for you!

Super fun puzzle adventure game

It’s so cute and the storyline is so good and I just love it so much. The puzzles aren’t too challenging and there’s a bit of translation issues but it’s doesnt take away from the game

Honestly Just Amazing

I have watched, read, and played lots of murder mystery related things, but this game was definitely a lot better than some others. The animation, storyline, and the pleasure of picking the pieces is just amazing and I looked forward to the next day where I left off.

Great game with exhilarating story

I actually downloaded this game on accident but I stayed for the ride. I haven’t finished it yet but it is GREAT. If you like games with detective mechanics like Ace Attorney you’ll love this game.

I never leave reviews but I had to for this game. One small problem for it is the translation has minor mistakes but it doesn’t take away from the gameplay or story.

Holy Cow

To be truly honest the game would get a bit boring, but it just has this suspense and curiosity that makes you want to read more. Truly amazing and quite penetrating to the readers mind. It may also be a good thing that it may also scare me once I find out more throughout the whole story.

Absolutely Mindblowing

Aside from translation errors, this game was absolutely amazing. The story was incredibly interesting, the mystery was not too simple and challenging enough for me to enjoy, and the art and music was so beautiful. 100% I will definitely recommend people to play. You don’t need to buy anything to play, but I ended up doing so anyway because the story was so good.

There is a bug where in Kyouji’s story if you fail to get the Yokozukarai letter before hand and return to the main menu, Kyouji’s music keeps playing but it goes away if I restart the app and then chapter select.

Really good

It’s good, I wish there were other games like this one. I really have no problem with anything. The storyline is amazing and draws you in, and the art is fantastic, too. To be able to interact with character and search your surroundings makes the game automatically an A+ in my book. It’s really good, and I would totally recommend if you’re into mysteries and stuff.

Fantastic

Everything is great. Personally, I would prefer a bit romantic elements in this game, so I hope they may do so🤗
