About This Game

Orthodox Mystery x Horror Puzzle Solving

This work focuses on the bond between a pair of siblings.

Players take on the role of the protagonist, Shinonome Yuki, and together with his sister, Shinonome Akari, they use deduction to uncover the truth behind murder cases occurring around them.

Gameplay consists of Investigation Parts and Deduction Parts. During the Investigation Part, you solve mysteries at the crime scene while gathering evidence. Once all evidence is collected, you enter the Deduction Part to expose the true culprit.

This title focuses on identifying the culprit and unraveling the murder method, offering a story where you can savor the essence of a true orthodox mystery. Before the solution is revealed, a "Challenge to Players" is presented, so those confident in their reasoning skills may attempt to uncover the truth on their own.

Rich Expression Through Detailed Pixel Art and Manga-Style Illustrations

From recreating the events of the case and the truth to investigating minute items, intricate pixel art and manga-style illustrations are provided, allowing you to thoroughly examine every corner of the game's world.

Unpredictable Story

While the world seems peaceful at first glance, it hides many dangers, and sudden death can strike at any time, requiring utmost caution during exploration.

Furthermore, while being an orthodox mystery, it incorporates supernatural and sci-fi elements, allowing you to experience a unique worldview where warmth and cruelty blend together.
