I've just played the game in one evening.
The character art is very nice indeed, though Naoki still looks like he has the body frame of a girl, or possibly a hermafrodite. Most of the backgrounds are nice, especially the understated one of Li Mei's room. Some of the BG look strangely empty (the corridor in the student quarters, shame about the moiré effect toward the end) or plain boring (the courtyard of the school).
I'm not a graphical artist by any means, but those BG's are not on par with the rest of the art, which is a shame really.
As a detective novel the clues are painfully obvious, which was a bit disappointing. Nevertheless, the story is gripping; I played through it in one continuous session, eager to come to a satisfying conclusion.
I'm looking forward to the next part of the series.

Please release a Linux version as well. Unity makes that pretty easy.

It has more inventory slots :-) If this works anything like the DLC´s for Fallout 3, it should extend the number of inventory slots from the very start. A much needed improvement to the orginal game imho.
I´d buy it for sure (at the price of an extension that is...)

Because we are running Linux this is actually rather easy to change.
Just copy the directory to the place *you* want it to be and make a symbolic link pointing to the place where we want the games to be installed; like this:
1. Close each desura game and desura itself
2. Open up your favorite terminal program and enter your home directory with cd[Enter]
3. copy the entire desura directory to the place you want it to be, let us say it is /games:
cp -R desura /games
(the -R makes sure that it copies recursively)
4. remove the entire desura directory including all subdirs:
rm -R desura
!! (make sure that you do not make any typos here, as you might accidentally destroy another directory and all of it s subdirectories ) !!
5. make a symbolic link between the present location of desura and were *you* want desura to store its files, for instance:
ln -s /games/desura desura
This will make desura install the games in a subdirectory of /games/desura instead of /home/[yourusername]/desura

Mission accomplished :-)

If desura would have a good and accesible log system, most of the times the finnicky backtrace/ gdb stuff would not be neccessary. Decent Linux programs log errors to stdout. I have had numerous crashes of the desura client when running it from a virtual terminal screen, without a single error message on stdout...
If desura would improve on that, error reporting would become more accessible for the average Joe.
Not all people running linux are tech. savvy. I support many people remotely that run a linux distro strictly as user. Some of them are gamers.
