Description:Jane who has opened lodgings is dumbfounded at the oddities of her first
applicant.
His name is William Holmes professing himself ‘Consultation Detective’.
Jane has never heard of such an occupation and rather wants to avoid a weird
lodger like him. However, necessity is a hard master.
Watson, another lodging applicant, proposes Jane to study how Holmes may
crack a case, though.

Game Play:This really isn't a game, it is a visual novel and there is no way the player can lose since there is no bad ending. It is structured like a choose your own ending kind of book where there is a set storyline and along the way choices are presented to the player. Depending on the choices selected the player will end up with a certain character at the end of the story.
Personal Review:Review-Pros: FREE (for iOS), Nice artwork, Engaging storyline
Cons: Expensive (for Android), Short, Very little romance, Parts still in Japanese
This game is rather fun, not really because of the romance aspect (it is virtually non-existent other than the last 1/4 of the story) but because of the mystery aspect. The mystery of what the noise is that Jane hears at night was what fueled my interest in continuing to play the game. The characters all pretty much lacked in some way or other, although I have to say Watson was probably the most intriguing of the three. The riddles were way too easy to decipher and posed absolutely no challenge. The entire game was rather short and could probably be played in under 2 hours. After the first play through you could pretty much fast forward through the bulk of the dialogue and get through the other two characters very quickly. If you are interested in the game, I suggest playing it on an iPhone, iPod or iPad if you have that option. This way you have the option to play this game for an upgrade cost of $2.99 or even free if you can deal with not having the save, skip and ad-free option (although there is a way around the ads). $4.05 is definitely way too expensive for this game due to its length, character choices and story quality.
