About the Game

Did She Jump — Or Did Someone Push Her?

Hundreds of witnesses. Zero certainty.

Rimi is trapped between the platform and a train during rush hour. She’s still alive... Some say she jumped. Others swear she was pushed. No one agrees on what they saw.

Detective Kesai

You are the only person standing between the chaos and the truth. Every minute counts, every question you ask matters. Push for what you believe is right... You might only get one chance.

Moto Has Nothing to Hide

Calm. Cooperative. Moto insists he’s never met her. The witnesses contradict each other. But is there something deeper going on?

Everyone Wants the Train to Move On

Commuters complain. Strangers speculate. A life hangs in the balance while the crowd debates inconvenience.

Why Rimi?

What did this happen to Rimi? What happened in her past? Something about the whole situation makes everything suspicious...
