Verdict (★★★★★★★☆☆☆)
Underworld Office does appear to be an intriguing messenger-style novel game that proves to be a good choice to sink hours into (At least whenever you’re feeling down). As good as any game can be, it still has its flaws. When it comes to the narrative, it can become quite anti-climatic whenever things start to get exciting or interesting.
Even so, the game stands out from the crowd thanks to its distinctive and engaging way of storytelling, much like Mystic Messenger. If you happen to be a fan of light novels, this is definitely for you! :D
