About the Game

Erased memories, scattered clues. What will you uncover, and what will you leave buried?

The Missing Threads is a strategic detective adventure where you become an amnesiac investigator. In a race against your own fading mind, you must reconstruct both the truth behind the case and your own lost past within a limited number of investigative opportunities.

Your mind is still unstable. While you can explore crime scenes without restriction, the 'Focus' required to deeply analyze evidence or pressure suspects is strictly limited. Every decision counts. The threads you choose to pull will lead you to the truth, but those you ignore may become knots that bury your past forever.

Key Investigation Systems

  • 🔍 Unrestricted Field Investigation: Collect Every Fragment There are no time limits at crime scenes or while reviewing records. Explore freely and gather every possible clue. Your power of observation is the starting point of every case.

  • ⚠️ Limited Focus, Meaningful Choices
    A detective’s focus is finite. Each day, the number of interrogations and analyses you can perform is strictly limited, and you cannot pursue every lead.

    By day, gather clues and question suspects. By night, analyze the evidence and anticipate how suspects will respond in future interrogations. Prioritize wisely, make every action count, and solve the case in as few days as possible.

  • 🧠 A Pure Deductive Experience There is no combat or reflex-based gameplay. Success depends entirely on meticulous evidence cross-referencing, psychological warfare with suspects, and efficient resource management.

Recommended For Players Who...

  • Enjoy strategic investigation and designing the most efficient route to the truth.

  • Seek deep narratives where solving individual cases and recovering the protagonist's past are intricately linked.

  • Value authentic deduction that relies on logic and observation rather than physical action.
