As a fan of the mystery genre, it has been a pleasure to play Tears of Themis as it offers a very gratifying experience. I know that this is definitely a game I’ll keep joyfully coming back to, at least until I have my fill of its wonderful aesthetics (if that’s even possible 😜).
Considering this is something from a hackneyed genre, Tears of Themis outdone itself and has enough to differentiate itself. Speaking from experience, I'd say that this amazing game proves to be an excellent choice for anyone to invest hours in. After all, it simply draws you into the game.
