REFORI

We are born, live through countless choices, and in the end, we die. Because death is not a choice, what you're given is the path, not its end. The ending is already written. Will you uncover the truth, or pretend not to know? REFORI: a mystery adventure where your choices shift the perspective.

About the Game

Hello. Now, where to begin…

Let's start with where you're headed, shall we?

The place you'll be staying is a country called the Democratic Republic of Sateyna.

I wouldn't really know myself, but the way that child tells it, life there won't be easy…

And yet, that child was so set on bringing you along that I could hardly refuse.

What will you do there, you ask?

Well. You'll go through a great deal, as everyone does. Including the things you'd rather not.

For the most part, you'll have two choices.

To uncover the truth, or simply look the other way.

Are you any good at deduction? Ah, but of course, you won't know until you've tried.

If deduction is your gift, then one day you may reach the place where I am.

And if not… then perhaps someone will find their way to your side, instead.

Well then, one last thing.

Wherever you end up…

may fortune be kind to you.

ABOUT THIS GAME

REFORI is a narrative mystery adventure told through 3D pixel art.

Watch the story unfold, explore each location, and gather clues by talking with the people you meet.

These clues lead you to the truth — but your choices and deductions will change the lens through which the story is seen.

DEDUCTION SYSTEM

In REFORI, you investigate by talking things through with characters in real time.

Type out your deductions freely, and each character will respond based on their own perspective and knowledge.

What you say shapes where the story goes.

MULTIPLE PERSPECTIVES, ONE CONNECTED STORY

Your choices shift the point of view — revisiting the same incident through another character's eyes, or following an entirely separate thread.

The investigation spans multiple chapters, and carefully reading the story is essential to your progress.

The current build offers roughly 20 hours of playtime, which will grow as new chapters are added.

Please note: this is a text-heavy, story-driven game. If that's not what you're looking for, this may not be the game for you.
