About the Game

Embark on an exciting journey as Shinji, a former street racer who has been given a second chance at redemption. Sent to the picturesque Japanese town of Buruwasu to escape his criminal past, he finds himself embroiled in a mystery when he stumbles upon a protest over an unsolved murder. Using your sharp investigative skills, gather evidence and build a case to bring justice to the troubled city and restore order to the once peaceful streets of Buruwasu.

Buruwasu – A City Built on Secrets

The main story unfolds in Buruwasu, where every alley hides whispers and every storefront masks tension.

Investigate crime scenes. Press citizens for information. Track inconsistencies. Piece together evidence. The deeper you go, the more dangerous the truth becomes.

This isn’t about being a hero.

It’s about deciding what kind of man you are when the streets demand blood.

Beyond the Main Case

The world extends beyond Buruwasu.

Travel to Ichihara, Konan, Yokyohama, and Nagasegai for optional side content, underground dealings, and personal stories that reveal the wider criminal landscape.

Over 100 side quests expand the world — from street disputes and debt collections to hidden conflicts that never make the news.

Not every fight is part of the main story.

But every fight leaves a mark.

Investigation & Choice

Interact with dynamically generated AI characters. Some lie. Some fear. Some know more than they should.

Gather evidence. Connect threads. Decide who to trust.

Truth isn’t handed to you, it’s extracted.

Turn-Based Combat

When negotiations collapse, violence follows.

Engage in brutal turn-based battles against gangs, thugs, and hostile forces across the region. Use melee weapons, strategy, and calculated aggression to survive.

Fights are not flashy exhibitions.

They are statements.

A Place to Return To

Between the chaos, you have a home.

Customise your space with furniture, appliances, lighting, and decoration. In a world ruled by tension and betrayal, it may be the only place that feels like yours.

In Ninkyo Dantai, the streets remember everything.

And redemption is never clean.
