Was a nice time playing this, the only other thing I've played by XavierWright was The Strange Case of the Turnabout which is currently incomplete. Reformation is a shorter and presumably simpler story, but the story it tells is solid. Plus now that it's not haunted by TimeAxis and I judging it for its theme relevance, I think more people will be able to appreciate the tone/pace it's going for.
It was pretty obvious from the start that Rosalith was gonna be the victim's sister. But I think there is something more to this case(I know it ended but something doesn't make sense with me)
I don't think the reason victim's father wrote that will was because he didn't care who got the fortune. I thought that at the end, it was gonna make a turn and we were gonna understand that Ian was not just a innocent person, but an accomplice in the case that worked with Rosalith so she can take the will. That would be more sensible, and it would explain why he wrote the last child will take the fortune. Probably that's just my interpretation and I think that case wasn't fully solved, but it was fun.
