Suhoshin is a murder mystery visual novel that uses a flowchart system similar to games like the Zero Escape Series. The story follows a young man recently appointed as an officer for the old land of Joseon, nowadays known as Korea. The story takes place on ancient times, as the return of the protagonist to his home village coincides with a series of mysterious murders in the otherwise peaceful place. Using his training he steps up to uncover the truth behind the incidents.
The game is pretty straightforward and linear, most of what you'll do is follow the story along. There are a few instances where a choice must be made and depending on your choice you may branch out into alternate events. You can later use the flowchart system to pick another choice and see what change can be made to the events that play out.
I found the premise very interesting right out the bat, with the main plot starting to progress with little delay to get you in on the rhythm of the story. There are unknowns that arise as you go that later on get explanations. The art for the characters and backgrounds is very beautiful and the soundtrack has very calming songs for the parts that evoke this feeling, reading along felt very comfortable while listening to the tracks.
The game should clock in at about 10 hours of duration, it is not incredibly long, but it delivers on its premise very well, there are distinct days of ingame progression so picking the end of one to end a playing session could be desirable, to spend a couple of days in total reading through the story. Due to my own time availability i did not made progress on continuous real days, but on the ones where I did sit down to progress through some part of the story it felt good to go through.
As the credits list, the development team was a small team. As their first project I quite enjoyed this little ride that I found randomly recommended on Steam, and I can say it was a good choice to check out, I definitely look forward to similar projects from the developers as they improve their style.

It's a pretty visual novel, there is no voice over which broke my immersion a little but the music is great, it felt authentic. Joseon era Korea is interesting and the fact that they included Korean terms in it with an index was great. The story is alright, a few twists and turns, you don't really need a guide to complete it as it walks you through the way the story is intended to be played, it is a bit linear but overall enjoyable. The CG are gorgeous, the character art is pretty too, there's a lot of work that went in it.
The entire game takes about ~6/7 hours to complete, depending on how fast you read.
