Okinawa Journal is a point-and-click mystery game set during the summer of 2000 in the serene yet mysterious landscapes of Okinawa. You step into the ethereal role of Kami, a guardian angel tasked with guiding Haruki, a struggling journalist, as he delves into the baffling disappearance of a beloved actress.
Along the way, you’ll meet a diverse cast of characters—both human and spirit—each harboring their own secrets, ambitions, and obligations. As the investigation unfolds, you’ll uncover a web of hidden truths tied to Okinawa’s dark past, with consequences that linger in the present.
With challenging decisions, intriguing locations to explore, and multiple endings to discover, Okinawa Journal invites you to shape a story where every choice carries weight.
With Haruki's Insight, you'll always know what still interests him. Also, Okinawa Journal is a succinctly written text-based game. There are no walls of text or meandering dialogue. The characters in the game summarize all their interactions in thought, which you, as a guardian angel, are able to understand.
Okinawa Journal is Steam Deck compatible.
