dark mysterious medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? No

• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

4.0

Delve into a seemingly normal private school as one event unravels into a collision of past and present as you spiral speeding towards a conclusion that seems equally impossible and inevitable. 4/5
