About the Game

Reversal Detective – Talk to AI villagers and uncover the truth!

Reversal Detective is a mystery adventure game where you become a private detective and solve a murder case through free-text conversations with AI-powered villagers.

You play as Ataru Sagumoto, a travel-loving private investigator who stumbles upon a quiet village—only to be caught in the middle of a murder.

Your mission is to gather key testimony keywords by speaking with villagers and collect physical evidence items scattered around the scene.

Once you’ve gathered enough clues, you can convene the villagers, confront the suspect using the keywords, and present evidence to force a confession.

■ Talk Freely with AI-Powered Villagers

All villagers are powered by advanced AI, allowing you to ask any questions in text form.

Their responses change depending on how you phrase your inquiries, creating a unique detective experience each time.

If you're not confident in typing, predefined questions are also available.

■ Collect Testimonies and Evidence to Solve the Crime

Villagers hold critical information in the form of keywords—extract them through smart questioning.

Explore the village to find physical evidence that supports your suspicions.

■ Short yet Replayable Mystery Cases

Each playthrough randomizes the culprit, victim, and testimony.

A single session lasts about 30 minutes, you can enjoy multiple unique investigations.
