KILLING A SUPERSTAR
This play is a crime story happened in a closed space. It tells that a actress Lisa has recently been caught in a scandal and even received death threats from some crazy fans …Lisa’s agent BIN invited a well-known host SHAN to Lisa’s secret villa for a live interview. Various threatening signals appeared in the villa before the live show started, causing Lisa to become more uneasy. In order not to miss the opportunity of news hype, SHAN insisted on proceeding the show. Unexpectedly, at the beginning of the live show, someone died at the scene. But the problem is that there were only Lisa colleagues and the show staff in the villa, and no one went in and out of the villa after that. Was it an accident or murder? It’s up to you to find out.

This game is basically a movie of around 15 mins, but as it occurs in different rooms, you need to rewind the video so you can see what occurred in each room during that time. Although even doing this it only takes less than an hour to see what happened in each room because several of the rooms will be empty at a time. Once you've watched it you can try to answer the three questions and see if you're right, which shows a final video.
You can easily switch between the rooms by clicking them from the map. This places you in the centre of the room and you cannot move around or interact, only watch the 360 degree video of what happened there. If you can't speak Chinese it seems to have decent English subtitles.
I think the main issues with this game are that a) it is far too short and b) there's no real reason to replay it once you've completed it. If you can perhaps get it on sale I'd say it's worth a try.

I highly recommend this product - but I need to first and foremost clarify that it is a experience and not much of a "game". That isn't a bad thing, you just need to know that going in.
I won't retread the stuff that everyone else said - about the 5 viewpoints, 15 minutes long, etc., etc. - what I want to call out is the acting and execution of the story. You could hurry through the game and skim all the scenes to get the information you need in order to answer the 3 questions and "finish" the game, but that's not really the best way to experience the content. I think the three questions are mainly there to give you a starting point for your investigation.
I recommend you stream to a friend or two on Discord and and enjoy it like a murder mystery, digging into the motives of the characters, and watching their body language for interesting clues on their relationships.
Most folks seem to spend around an hour on this, I spent around two, but buying it while it's on sale is a good idea - it's probably worth around $5 - about as much as movie.
The only thing that detracts from this experience is the secret scene at the end if you get all the questions right. It's pointless, and doesn't even work narratively speaking, so feel free to just consider non-canon and enjoy the rest of the experience.

Like-able.
I love the presentation and I want to see more of this. There were parts of the story that didn't gel for me.
Too short for the price (at under 60 minutes).
Nevertheless, recommended. Just get it on sale.
