Mirage Noir is a detective romance visual novel where every lead could bring you closer to love—or straight into a killer’s hands.
When Yunie graduated from college, she believed she had her whole life ahead of her. Returning to her hometown with a shiny new dream job, it seemed like nothing could stand in her way.
However, two years later, not much has changed. She hasn't made any new friends, isn't allowed to investigate anything worthwhile, and feels like she's stuck in mud, moving in place.
So when an unexpected opportunity arises, she doesn't hesitate to take it. The case is a weird one, but it introduces her to an eccentric team of people she immediately connects with, and she decides that no matter what, she won't regret getting involved.
Even if it means crossing paths with a serial killer.
Full game coming in 2026! The demo covers the entirety of the prologue and contains 3-5 hours of content.

In addition to it being a visual novel, the game also has several different minigames. Most of them can be toggled on/off, and those that can't will have a story mode for players who'd prefer to focus on the plot instead.
(Multiscreen gameplay, evidence collecting, deduction segments, point-and-click investigations, and more!)
