### 5/5 — Obsessed, love this game

*2023-07-15*

I love this game! As someone who’s played danganronpa it doesn’t come off as a rip-off or clone and the story is actually really cohesive and goes back on a lot of points to really wrap everything up!!! I’ve only completed the first chapter but I am very happy with it thus far!! I’ll definitely be spending the two dollars because even if short, the chapters are super well written and really capture my interest!!!

### 1/5 — I want a refund.

*2022-06-22, version 1.2.2*

So I started playing this and was pretty impressed! Then it came to the payment, I payed the 2 dollars and it crashed. I tried to fix it but it didn’t work. Unless I get my refund, this game gets 1 star for me

**Developer response:** Hi, we are very sorry that this crash occurred.
Version 1.2.3 has just been released on the App Store to fix the issue.

If you still experience any problems after updating the app, please let us know.

### 1/5 — Warning! Do not buy this!

*2022-04-25, version 1.2.2*

Man, this game has potential. The story is interesting, i like the flow but there are too many flaws:
Save function doesn’t work. 

After paying $2 the game crashed. I logged in and had to start everything again.

When I reached the point it asked to pay for the full version, it crashed again.
 
It’s only 2 bucks, I don’t need the refund. Yet i hope they use it to fix this. Meanwhile do NOT pay for this game i warned you

**Developer response:** Hi, we are very sorry that this crash occurred.
Version 1.2.3 has just been released on the App Store to fix the issue.

If you still experience any problems after updating the app, please let us know.

### 1/5 — Why do we have to pay for the end of case 1?

*2022-04-22, version 1.2.2*

Dear Developers,
You may not realize it, but there are children who want to enjoy the game and use their smarts and logic. We shouldn’t have to pay just to find out who killed Iwata? When I purchased the next content, there were many bugs and I ended up losing my progress. Then I played again, and the same thing happened. I would’ve rated 5 stars if you didn’t have to pay or if at least that purchase would work. Please fix this as soon as possible.
Sincerely, A player who is now going to try again to see if it actually works.

### 1/5 — Why do you have to pay?

*2022-03-02, version 1.1.2*

You should at least allow us to do chapter one then play u did it when the story was getting good

### 2/5 — Ummm

*2022-01-09, version 1.1.2*

It’s not that I hate it it’s just I wish that you didn’t have to pay for the rest of the trial and it could be free that’s my only problem other than that good game overall

### 5/5 — Why you should get this game

*2021-12-30, version 1.1.1*

Tokyo Detectives is a danganronpa like game so if you see this game don’t waste your time and download it throws you straight into a murder case where you must find out who killed iwata by questioning witnessing and discovering who killed iwata if you like danganronpa games I request this game or another danganronpa like game called seven photos Answer to dev response:No problem the only bad part is you gotta pay for the last part of case 1

Pt 2:Your welcome devs and I’m excited for the red wedding case however I have a single problem with this game the fact that you cannot resume to play during  the rebuttal section of the game.I know the payment is to make sure you get money but I have a better idea.You should make V.I.P cases that you need to pay 19.99 to purchase there will be 5 V.I.P cases that you can use but if you need ideas for some V.I.P cases below will be a case idea 
 
RollerCoster Traffication:
Victim Kima Samki found dead on rollercoster ride followed by 17 other victims 

Kimas Autopsy report files a broken neck and 2 broken legs 
Wheels fallen off the coaster screwdriver found stuff in wheel

**Developer response:** Thank you so much!  Yes we made this game because of our love for danganronpa.  We will continue to make exciting murder cases!
