About the Game

"I want you to find something. Me. My true self."

As a private detective, you've been tasked with three cases from three clients:

  • Toko - a mysterious young girl who asks you to find her "true self"

  • Saeki - the vice principal at your little sister's all-girls' school who asks you to find some students that have gone missing. 

  • Uozomi - your old partner from the police force who needs help investigating a serial murderer.

As these three cases quickly prove to be intertwined, it's up to you to uncover the mysteries in this exhilarating thriller set in post-war Japan.

Can you solve the case before it's too late?

Key Features

It's up to you to rifle around the crime scenes and discover any clues the murderer may have left behind. Just be careful not to miss any!

Every day you'll able to visit two locations to look for information or question people who may be involved, but there's only so much time before the murderer strikes again!

As you gain more clues and information about the cases and the people involved, you'll add more details to your notebook which you can reference at any time to plan your next actions.

At key points, you'll need to use the information in your notebook to piece together what evidence you have and deduce the facts. 

A Diverse Cast of Complex Characters

This story contains over 30 different characters with complex relationships leading to an intricate human drama between the cast. It's impossible to learn every little secret in one playthrough.

Killer's Eye View

Witness snippets from the perspective of the murderer or their victim. Pay attention for subtle hints on where and what to investigate!

Multiple Endings There's over a dozen different endings to reach based on your choices and the clues uncovered!
