Use forensic science to investigate "unsolvable cases"
A new viral outbreak has forced Tokyo to go into an extended lockdown. Finally coming out of the bleak, three year epidemic it seems life has finally returned to normal... until a string of paranormal incidents begin to occur. It's up to you and your colleagues to solve these cases once and for all!
Realistic forensic tools
Use the resources at your disposal such as images and surveillance footage to perform a careful analysis and determine items, persons, and other points of interest. Be sure to review security camera footage thoroughly, as it can allow you to gather specific details of victims' behavior at the moment of the incident, and even review what happened before or after.Organize your evidence board
Determine answers by collecting and organizing evidence on the evidence board. Proper use will allow you clearly to see how items in your case interrelate. The outcome of each case will be determined by the degree to which you were able to resolve the case. Can you solve all of the difficult cases that lie ahead?World introduction
The world would be changed forever.On a fateful December in 2019, a viral infection broke out in Tokyo. The new disease spread relentlessly through the country and claimed lives at a rate of 40%, an even higher fatality rate than that of Ebola. Entry and exit routes to foreign countries became heavily restricted, and even the main lines of transportation in Tokyo halted operation.
With this state of affairs, the country's capital was blockaded.
Without any sign of an effective cure, the virus began to spread from the general public to medical personnel, police officers, self-defense force personnel, and finally the nation's center. Soon the prime minister, chief cabinet secretary, ministry of health and labor, and other key bureaucrats fell victim to the virus and became absent. By this turn of events, the death toll in the country had already exceeded 200,000.
Amidst this state of affairs, a new government had to be hastily formed to run the country. The infectious disease specialist who finally discovered a cure for the virus was selected as the new prime minister in honor of his heroism in saving the lives of many. This new prime minister launched a series of countermeasures against the infectious disease as well as economic measures which all proved to be highly successful. At last, the number of infected began to visibly decrease.
And so, the pandemic at long last came to a close.
