About the Game

Conviction Chronicles brings a dynamic, modern edge to the murder‑mystery and killing‑game genre; mixing rich character drama with reactive gameplay that echoes fan favorites like "Danganronpa, Persona 5, AI: The Somnium Files, and Ace Attorney.”

Compelling character designs are set within a restrictive 3D prison for all to see live, where the starkness of the setting and the ongoing tension amplify every accusation, pact, and act of treachery.

With Conviction Chronicles, the familiar foundations of visual novels and detective games are given a lively update: expect dynamic living systems, suspects that develop, and investigations that keep evolving well past your perceived conclusions.

Are you ready for a story you’ll never forget?

Conviction Chronicles is proudly created by humans, not AI.

Day Time

Build alliances, gather intel, and manipulate the truth. Socialize with fellow prisoners to uncover clues, forge fragile bonds, and/or quietly set up your next betrayal. Craft tools for survival… or for murder. Every inmate can be an asset if you know how to use them.

Night Time

Fortify your cell or slip into the dark to execute your plans.

Sabotage rivals, plant traps, stalk your suspects, eliminate those in your way, and erase or falsify evidence before dawn.

Choose Your Inmate

Play as one of 15 unique prisoners, each with distinct playstyles, motives, and branching personal stories. Learn more about them with every run.

Reactive Prison Ecosystem

Relationships deepen or collapse based on your actions. Dynamic events and autonomous characters reshape every playthrough, ensuring no two runs unfold the same way.

  • Craft traps and weapons for self-defense, deception, and murder.

  • Investigate twisted cases... Or create them to survive.

  • React, Retaliate, Reveal! The world is shaped by perception. Fast-paced trials will depend on your wits and lies to protect yourself from execution.

  • Find the mole or play as them, to secure your victory.

Every non‑player inmate acts independently to survive. They can do anything the player can do behind the scenes, creating unpredictable situations, shifting alliances, and emergent trials.

Endless Replayability

Over 100 hours of branching paths, randomized outcomes, hidden stories, and unlockable content.

Shape the Experience

Alter the gameplay in drastic ways to make runs as long or as short as you desire. With the expansive game settings menu, you can drastically shape the game to your liking.
