About This Demo

Within the shadowed city lives a vibrant cast of unforgettable characters.

There’s the seemingly respectable yet suspicious Captain Theodore; Axel, the sharp‑tongued son of the uncompromising Griff of the Citou family—and Griff himself, even more unyielding than his son.

The defiant rebel Rafe Fang, always fighting against something; the lively girl with a camera; the elegant and dignified Madame Ruan; a mysterious woman rumored to wield magic; a warm‑hearted, talkative old fishmonger; and a foul‑mouthed, troublemaking brat who always stirs up chaos.

Forge connections with these diverse inhabitants and uncover the hidden stories they each carry.

Every encounter, no matter how small, will bring you closer to discovering the city’s true face.

The combination of 3D environments and 2D pixel characters creates a unique artistic style with a striking contrast between modern and retro. Explore a variety of diverse and freely explorable scenes: the dilapidated steel forest factory, the muddy shipwreck dock built on water, the Zhulong Walled City blending the fictional culture, and the bustling old city district.

Freely choose to enhance your abilities—strength, spirit, charm—and select your own methods to investigate cases—psychological warfare? Bribery? Or simply beating up suspects? Deduction System: Gather clues, make connections, and build your own unique path to the truth.

"The Shadow", a strange creature attached to you that reads memories and reconstructs the traces of the deceased!

"Don't worry, Lucas, we're just using each other. You use me to find the culprit, and I, well, I love tasting those bizarre stories, hahaha!", says the Shadow.
