I very much enjoyed it, it's basically murder sudoku.

It's very good but some people will always hate it. It's a mystery/murder game with a strong undertone of Edgar Allan Poe (I could name other creepy writers but that might a spoiler), which isn't everybody's thing. The graphics and the tone are very stylised (and largely static and entirely monochrome), which a larger number of people won't like. There's pretty much no documentation/manual/guide, so you have to work out the game mechanics as you go. It helps if you have a good memory and/or good visualisation/spatial- awareness skills, otherwise I suppose you'd need to take a lot of notes.
If most of those are the kind of things you like, you should enjoy it a lot. For others it's going to be irritating as fuck. It's not a game that makes concessions; it has a singular vision and pushes it relentlessly.
