I had a great time playing this game. A great start to the mystery and you out did yourself with the art. User interface is okay, but definitely needs an explanation. I almost gave up the first week because I could not figure out how to advance to the next week until I pressed Escape hoping I might find something and I probably mainly did that because I am familiar with RPGM games.

I would suggest when the map is first shown, to ask the player if they want a tutorial and explain how each aspect works. Adding a tutorial icon to the map and letting players know they can review it at any time would also be a big help.

Very impressiv visuals! The game works alright and i quickly emerged into this world of demons and devils and crime. Personally I would appreciate also mouse control in addition to the keyboard. I guess it is not possible to solve any case in this demo yet or was I just not good enough? However, good work, hope you can keep up the motivation and finish the game.
