I am gonna be absolutely honest if you are looking for mysterious murder story... Gnosia is not a story game. It sounds weird for a game with VN tag. Story here is just a background for absolutely random generated game. It's great at that though. There are various skills, these will help you influence people in many different outcomes. It's a philosophic game with plenty of questions and not enough answers.

Enigmatic mood,
Enigmatic characters,
Enigmatic one of a kind results.

This game contains bunch of events that may trigger or not. Depending who will stay alive, who will be in certain role. Results will be diversed, just like in classic wolf game theme. Find the wolf before you die, but sometimes maybe it's not the case. There is a system that points you what set up may trigger event and characters bio. Each event gives you more info on game participants and thats it. Just a small crumbles of story here and there, hiden behind a wall of good gameplay.

You see what my problem is?
Story and the lack of intergrity.

Nothing is explained enough. They just straight up leaving you on space ship. It's well crafted game with satisfying deductions but not a book. Someone should take it a step further, creating magnificent story out of this idea and this gameplay. If someone came back to it and prepared branched story. This game would be perfect then, alas we can only dream.
