About This Game

"Search Detective Pate Taro" is a short mystery adventure game where you solve mysteries using search and elimination.

The setting is 2050.

However, what you find there is a shopping street that retains a nostalgic atmosphere.

The player, along with the young detective "Pate Taro," tackles requests from residents and small incidents.

The clues come from words entered in the search bar, inconsistencies in conversations, and small pieces of information left behind.

By comparing and verifying these, and eliminating impossible possibilities one by one, you will arrive at the final answer.

■ Search

Investigate words that pique your interest and gather information related to the case.

Based on the information obtained through searching, organize what is related and what is not.

■ Compare

Compare testimonies, search results, and clues, and look for inconsistencies remaining in conversations.

The important thing is not to jump to the answer that comes to mind first.

■ Eliminate

Examine each candidate one by one and clarify "why it's wrong." In this game, eliminating incorrect possibilities is just as important as choosing the correct answer.

The case begins with everyday requests and small anomalies occurring in a shopping district.

However, hidden beneath the surface are assumptions, oversights, and unspoken circumstances.

It's not just about intuition, but also verification.

It's not about guessing, but about confirming.

Eliminate, eliminate again, and search for the last remaining voice.

In the shopping district of 2050, approach the truth with young detective Pate Taro.

This is a deduction drama using the method of elimination, where the "reasons for not choosing" are the key.
