    Definitely worth a buy if you like suda's writing. Storytelling is very unique

    The sequel of the already fantastic Silver Case delivers even more with an even more cryptic story, but an even more flawless execution. This is the pinnacle of style. The soundtrack was done by Akira Yamaoka, making it the perfect experience for a visual novel.

    One of the most creative and unique stories/settings I've ever seen in a visual novel. Lovely striking artstyle as well. Truly kino.

    Kind of like a magical experience, really. The 25th Ward seems like a real place after completing the game. a perfect utopia of sorts. Be prepared to spend time with it's denizens through out the story.

    The 25th Ward: The Silver Case, while not for everyone, is still a unique visual novel experience that oozes creativity. Its gameplay elements do slightly bog it down, but the stylised writing, entertaining characters, and one of a kind story more than make up for it. It's a truly memorable adventure accompanied by wonderful music and artwork, all coming together to make something that visual novel fans should definitely look into.

    The 25th Ward is an interesting game which has an intricate story with complex moments that makes hard to know what's happening. Besides that having three different stories that get crisscross at some point, a good soundtrack with many types of music and some moments that are like retro games are its best points.
