About the Game

Suteru is an outcast burdened by his ugly appearance who possesses a rare and unsettling gift called “Wordsight” in which thoughts materialize as words. His unique ability allows him to uncover the disturbing secrets of those who torment him and help him seek revenge.

Art by Hamashima Shigeo and narrative by Shimokura Vio.




Suteru's world crumbles when his crush humiliates him with a fake confession of love. No longer willing to endure the ridicule, he uses his powerful ability to expose the hidden truths of the five girls who made him suffer and takes matters into his own hands.




Suteru’s tormentors hide more than their cruelty, and his ability may hold secrets far beyond his understanding. In a school divided by whispers and hidden motives, each path he follows reveals glimpses of lives intertwined with lies and truths that could change everything.

What damage can one boy do with the power to peer into minds, to see through lies, and to drag the ugly truths to light? Mojika: Truth Rears Its Ugly Head explores themes of bullying, revenge, blackmail, and abuse, interwoven with lies, truth, beauty, and ugliness.
