About the Game

Step into a fantasy metropolis where humans and beastfolk coexist. Beneath its prosperous surface lie hidden secrets and swirling dark undercurrents.

Play as a destitute, unemployed journalist at rock bottom. An enigmatic hyena extends a mysterious investigation offer, drawing you into the city’s shadowy underbelly. Embark on a journey of inquiry, wander through urban streets, encounter all kinds of people, and unearth the truth behind bizarre, unsolved incidents.

The game features hardcore binary-choice storytelling. Every pivotal decision carries no absolute right or wrong, directly shaping four core attributes. Maintain careful balance at all costs—any attribute collapse will terminate your investigation and trigger a tragic ending.

Gather fragmented clues, experience peculiar urban tales, and interact with distinctive characters. As scattered cases intertwine, layers of fog lift to expose a grand conspiracy, with a hidden mastermind controlling the city’s fate.
