In the smallest district in Montreal, the Crown Attorney relies on the legal expertise of its lawyers; backed up by the support of a single hard-working secretary.

This is the story of Dana Larose, a young woman starting her career as a secretary in the Crown Attorney's office. the office is both overworked and understaffed, so you'll have to work out whose project you h
elp with accordingly.

Will you be able to unravel the mystery being covered up, balance the stress of juggling overtime for everyone and find love...?

Raves and Rants:

This is relatively simple compared to the other visual novels I've played, you just have to work as a secretary while solving the mystery. How hard can it be? The hard part for me comes on how to juggle the workload. I'm sort of the type who can't say 'no' to people so it took me awhile to finish on my first try. I solved the mystery but didn't end up with anyone.
You can only work during morning, early afternoon and late afternoon. You can work during lunch hour and evening too, but that has added stress. The more stressed you are, the more likely you are to mess up on your work. To relieve stress, you can play solitaire (-3%) or eat your packed lunch (-5%). The other options are eating Chinese or Expensive food or going to the pub or theater, but you're going to have to spend money on that.

You begin the game with $100. There are three items you can buy at the mall: a red vest ($40), a crimson blouse ($70) and the lucky watch ($200). I've gotten all endings but I still haven't bought the watch, not even once (but meh, maybe I'm just too lazy)

There are some extras you unlock along with some endings (actually Pierre's ending is the only one with no bonus). Interview with the Supervillain Prosecutor unlocks when you get an ending with Dorothy. Other Assorted Heartbreak, a sort of backstory, unlocks with Jonathan ending. and a short comic strip, Love and 4koma unlocks with Ross ending.

Favorite ending: Pierre Path
