“島根県を舞台に文通していた相手を探すミステリーアドベンチャー。彼女はなぜ消えた、消えなければならなかったのか…。島根の様々な観光地を巡りながら謎を解き明かしていく。一応何度もプレーすることでトゥルーエンドに行けるように設計されているのだが、自分は一度目エンドでプレーをやめてしまった。何度もプレーする魅力がないのが残念なところ。”

About This Game

When a letter is delivered 15 years late - you discover an old pen-friend was involved in a murder, before she disappeared.
Travelling to her hometown, you must investigate the murder, using her past letters as clues to uncover the disturbing truth. Using Visual Novel and investigative gameplay elements, Root Letter elevates the Visual Novel genre to a whole new level.

• An intense murder mystery set in a gorgeous, real-word, rural Japanese setting.
• Stunning Visual Novel artwork from the renowned artist Minoboshi Taro.
• Increased gameplay elements - search for clues, present evidence and explore environments.
• Travel freely around Shimane, visiting real world locations and interviewing suspects.
• Interrogation mode allows you to present evidence to characters and catch them out in lies.
• Unravel the truth from your pen-friend's letters - was she telling the truth, was she even real?
• Make difficult choices as you straddle an investigation spanning 15 years.
• Five different endings with wildly different routes - for a huge level of replayability.
