About the Game

Every 7 years, the prestigious King's Invitational is held in the nation of Lyssidia. Sponsors seek out only the most promising gladiator candidates to rise to the occasion. The prize? An audience with the king himself, as well as one wish that he MUST oblige, no matter what...

...or so the announcements claim. 

In reality, very few newcomers make it to that stage, with event after event rigged to fall into the hands of those backed by an aristocracy with no intentions of allowing any threats to the status quo to pass...

...but what happens when someone is killed outside of the arena?

10 playable characters with full voice acting and skill animation during battle!

Multiple boss fights that look really cool when they explode your whole party!

What's a murder mystery without a detective?

Cases are split into Investigation and Deduction phases. In the investigation phase, you can inspect a location for various clues, and get characters to elaborate on their thoughts regarding these clues.
Choosing the correct clue card.

During the Deduction phase, you enter into a Battle of Wits. It's similar to a standard combat section, but you use your collected clues to win the battle, rather than raw damage.

City map navigation.

The city of Galehar has plenty of sights to see, if only you know where to look!
