The Prison Boys [ Mystery novel and Escape Game ]

I love every single mystery light novel published by SEEC. All the mysteries were on a not extremely obvious but solvable level with a great story. I can't recommend it more. Waiting for tickets can be a bit hard but the story is worth the daily wait.

The game are very nice but I cannot finished the game due to a bug whenever I proceed to the next story to see ads, it turns black and then I clear history and return to play. Also it takes time for me to press the "push start" that it won't proceed as well.. I love the app but please kindly fix the bug? I will send the problem record that often happened to me... Thank you, I will be waiting for your response..

This game's beautiful.❤ The story kept me really excited the whole way through, the art's so well done, & each character feels like a real person. A couple of the puzzles are pretty brain-racking, but I fought through them, & it was very gratifying. I recommend making sure you've a clear, bright view of your screen; I learned the hard way after looking for a very small item for 30 minutes!😅 Also, there are many small translation issues, which can be a bit confusing.

That was...... amazing....., the OSTs fit really well, and give a nostalgic feel, the plot twists were so well written and completely unexpected, the puzzles were challenging but fun to figure out, the characters have a depth to them and each one has their own personality. The story overall was such an amazing adventure that I absolutely loved to the end, the ending was so bittersweet to the point I teared up a little. I wish I could erase my memory of this game just to play it again.

LOVE IT SO MUUUCHH!! If you are searching for a game that has a really great story, it is definitely this one. It's not like the other mystery game where you have to find some hidden random things (umbrella, cat, etc.) for no reason. Otherwise, in this game, the things you need to find is connected to the main story. Moreover, the animation and music is also very good!! (although i hope they can lower the price of the ticket to read the next story) ❣

This game was amazing. The story is engaging, the twists has a shock factor albeit being slightly predictable, the puzzles are difficult but not to the point where you get frustrated and the characters are intresting! The art is so well done too. The reason I gave it four stars is that there are some loose ends here and there and one of the puzzles took a while to trigger despite being correct.

Great story and some genuinely difficult puzzles. Multiple endings and tons of twists in the story to keep you guessing. Kind of reminds me of Ace Attorney gameplay. Since you only get 5 tickets a day, it limits how much you can progress, but then the anticipation and excitement just builds. Some grammatical errors, but still entirely readable.

100/10 would Recommend. I was hesitant of downloading because the reviews where all mixed up. So far the story is amazing, the puzzles are just phenomenal. They're complex but not impossible. The art, animation, bg sounds, music, everything is perfect. Only one small complaint though. Please add a Suicide trigger warning, it may be insensitive to some people. Other than that, it's really fun to play. Probably the best (otome? ur choice?) game I've ever played. Can't wait to continue the story :)

The best visual novel mystery game I've ever played so far. I was reluctant at first but got hooked really fast. The characters are very well written, the plot flowed very smoothly and the twists were surprising, the art gives a vintage feel, and the puzzles were extremely fun to solve. I got too attached to the characters and I couldn't stop crying at the ending (I'm crying while writing this). I love this game beyond imagination.

The story is great, all of the main characters are loveable and interesting. The escape scenes are LITTLE BIT difficult that I have to look up walkthrough in some of them... Anyway, I never regret to download and played the game: pretty graphics, good music, not to mention the nice plot. The tickets system is not annoying me that much, I enjoy playing some chapters before bed so that's that, have nothing to complain since we must be grateful to the developers as well for bringing this.

It's a wonderful point and click game, somewhere between Phoenix Wright and an escape room game. It's incredibly engaging and doesn't require real money to finish if you're patient, and the game gives you free tickets at the start as well! It's very fortunate that you don't have to use tickets to play back scenes, which makes getting all the endings less tedious. I highly recommend this!

Great game. The plot keeps you going and it always makes you wonder what's going to happen next. The art and music is amazing as well. Some translation errors here and there but nothing too major. I have one issue though. .I purchased 50 tickets which comes with extra 25 tickets. .I received the 50 but not the extra 25. .would appreciate it if the developers looked into this. thanks

This game is total lit. I love the background, I love the characters, I love the gameplay, and I love the way they limited the ticket to make the gameplay longer. Only few ads are added so it's not annoying at all. If you like World-War's era style, and a history lover, this game is for you. But! If you have problems with the tickets generate, open back a gap before the recent plot you left and go through the plot again.

Amazing story, visuals, characters writing, pacing, and bgm. Challenging puzzles but not far-fetched. Love that there are many endings based on your choices and actions. My only criticism is it can be really slow if you wait until the next ticket regeneration so you will be tempted to buy tickets—which I don't have a problem with— but it's quite pricey for 1 ticket that will only get you to few seconds progress in the story. Also, a few spelling errors here and there but it's manageable.

It is my first time playing a game like this. The story is good, soundtracks are good, even the character illustrations are good. It was a wonderful experience especially in solving puzzles and interrogating other characters. It gives off vibes that want you to know the truth is as soon as possible but the tickets system forbids you to do so.But that's what makes it good.It makes u more curious. It is a great game! If you're thinking of installing this game, you won't regret it.

Probably going to be an all-time favourite mobile game of mine until something else comes along and catches me off guard like it did with this one. I wasn't prepared for the awe-inspiring storytelling and characterization it had to offer. The translation was a bit rough and the riddles were actually difficult for me to solve in certain instances because of it, but besides that minor inconvenience, I had an amazing experience. The soundtrack is sublime. The ending was definitely heart-renching.

A gold standard for Visual Novels. everything in this app immediately saps you into the 1920s setting and immerses you in the story, which i think is the most important. Everything from the BGM, radio sound filter, film grain, art style, even the Empire of Japan flag motif and menu designs. The story itself is impressive, with proper tension at critical moments and lighthearted moments. HOWEVER, the bad things are 2 : translation, not bad, but definitely noticeable , and the Ticket system.

This game was an amazing playthrough, I just finished the game as I'm writing this and I'm still a bit teary eyed especially after going through the endings in order as I played and having seen the last two endings back to back and seeing the difference in meaning in Tetsu's final thoughts (but I'm a crybaby, so maybe that's just me). Its a good game with an interesting plot and good character development to boot, there wasn't even a second of the game where I'd gotten bored, and the story kept me guessing which is always a plus in a mystery game. Thanks for the experience, and I recommend it to others as well ❤

Just beautiful, great work! Aimed for the true ending and it's really moving. Although the characters and such are fictional, there is a lot of real history. You can play the entire game for free, some chapters are short, but if you are patient, other than support the developers it's not necessary to pay for the tickets. The graphics are truly nice too

The story is fantastic and the gameplay works well. The use of daily tickets helps keep a good pace. There are a lot of spelling and grammatical errors by the translation team, but it is easy to look past, and the meaning is not lost through the errors at all. I love the characters, they have such an excellent dynamic with each other! Please continue to put out games like this!

i think it's fine for me to say this game is one of the best game i've ever played in my whole life, undeniably one of my favourite too. tbh i've never been so emotional playing a game. but it was understandable though, since it's novel + puzzles. i was so immersed in the storylines, and i agreed what previous reviewer had said, the characters felt real. but the ending though:') the puzzles weren't that hard, but in case you're stuck, there are walkthrough videos on youtube you can check.

The game was amazing ! amazing story lines and plots twists ! Long time ago i found the untranslated version of it and couldn't understand anything , and I finally found the translated version . Thank you so much for making it possible for me to play it ! Overall i recommend this game to anyone who like mystery based games or graphic novels ~

I just finished the ending 😭 It's sooo good. One of the best game I ever played. The audio visual is great, and the plot is pretty amazing too. It has entertaining puzzles, and the ticketing system is nice too. Please try this game if you like puzzle and story driven game. Especially those with historical setting.

Oh boy, this was an absolute doozy of a game. Had me scratching my head, laughing, crying, yelling in frustration, but it was all in good fun. This is the very first escape/novel game I've ever played and it sets the bar really high. I didn't think I'd be this invested in the story and the characters! There were some issues regarding the translations but nothing too serious. I also had an issue in the earlier chapters where I couldn't pick up or combine items but... I finished anyway lol

Fun game, very enjoyable. I really liked the story and the characters, especially Yamato. I'm happy I can marathon the game after completing it! In fact, I just played through the whole thing again! Some translations are a little off and there are minor spelling errors. Sometimes characters will say the same thing twice, like a weird glitch, but otherwise, I didn't have any problems playing through it. I loved the music too!

Its a really great game. The characters are interesting, not to mention the plot. Every little thing you do really affects the outcome. I really enjoy playing this game. Even though it relies on the plot, the stages are tricky, whenever I got stuck I had to check the backlog for anything I missed. Its really entertaining and the ticket system doesn't annoy me that much. Keep up the good work :)

I had a great time playing this game! The only thing I'm not happy about is the large amount of typos and grammatical errors in the dialogues and in the gallery. There are inconsistencies in translation, too. For example, Mitsuru's name is Huwa instead of Fuwa in the gallery and Mochizuki's is Motiduki. The errors really takes the immersion off especially in intense scenes. Please fix them in the next update!

Completed the game before, but changed my phone recently and lost all my save data and purchases. The save data is fine, but is there a way to recover my purchase? As for my review, the story's great with good puzzles which aren't overly difficult. Definitely worth a try! EDIT: Missed out on checking in the shop for special stories; my purchases are still there! Just have to replay the game again :)

this game is so much fun! the story is beautiful (although there were parts that were poorly translated) and the ending definitely had me tearing up. i just wish there was an auto-progress text option, something else to do in the game other than the main story (was only able to play like 25 mins a day for free because of the tickets), and a hint button but they fixed a lot of these in their later games like tasokare hotel

THIS IS SO GOOD. The story is so well written, despite the odd translations here and there. But it's a still a beautiful story with perfect ambient art and music. The later two chapters are very tricky as well. The extra story flush out even more personalities to the existing cast, making them each a distinct being that's not flat cardboard characters. VERY GOOD. TRY IT.
