Town Route Planning
Plan a walking route that visits key locations before each hearing. Revisiting spots after new clues often uncovers additional details missed on first pass.

Audio‑Visual Appreciation
Pause after each CG or musical cue to note mood cues. The art style and soundtrack frequently mirror narrative tension, offering subtle hints about case atmosphere.
