Root Film Reviews
Root Film tells a gripping and engaging tale of mystery. I was at the edge of my seat, trying to figure out how they’d explain cases. Though it is worth noting that I did feel like there are leaps of logic. Furthermore, two parts were easily predicted. I wouldn’t hold that against Root Film for the fact that the journey was fun. It’s full of laughs and physical comedy. The banter alone is worth the price of admission.
Root Film is an incredibly stylish and beautiful adventure visual novel held down by a few flimsy opening chapters. The pacing takes a dramatic hit due to a lack of direction, which caused me to step away several times. However, the second half is where the stars align and provide a solid and memorable conclusion to those who stick around.
Root Film is an excellent example of visual mystery novels. With an impeccably conducted storyline, its story has very interesting cases and the voices help to give the necessary drama to the events. Thanks to this, the small problems are practically irrelevant and anyone looking for a good game of the genre is likely to have guaranteed fun.

Root Film was an interesting story from beginning to end, constantly surprising me with the narrative and who was behind the crimes. Although playing as a pure Visual Novel, you do have some freedom with regards to who you talk to and where you go, but ultimately it’s a rather linear experience. I found myself a little confused but the story is all brought together towards the end, clearing up any questions I had. It may have a few gruesome moments, but it’s perfectly balanced with drama, comedy, and mystery. If you liked Root Letter, you’ll love Root Film.
