It tells the story of a group of rookie investigators tackling their first real case.
officers Keiichi Genba, Himatsu Mizu, Rei Shirayuki and Dr. Shinketsu Kikai are tasked with investigating the scene.
Not only do they need to uncover the identity of the victim and reconstruct the events leading up to his untimely death...
…they will also need to learn how to effectively work as a team in order to do so.
- 4 Team Members. Although Keiichi may be seen as the main character, the story will be told through the eyes of all four members of the team, each one specializing in another crucial area of crime scene investigation.
- Interactive Elements which, depending on whose role you assume, will let you investigate the scene, examine the body or interview the suspects.
- Evidence Presentation to back up your claims as you unravel the truth and determine who is responsible for killing the victim.
- Choices that not only affect your Detective Rank, but also dialogues as well as relationships and unlock bonus content upon the story’s completion.
- Bonding Moments with your teammates in which you can learn about their troubles and motivations and help set them on the right path.
- Digital Notebook which summarizes the investigation’s progression, provides you with additional information about the case and characters, and which is frequently updated to help you keep track of gathered clues and evidence.
- Different Endings depending on your deductions, so be careful not to end up arresting the wrong person!
- Unlockable Extras including a gallery and more.
- Original Soundtrack composed by Solo Acapello (you can check out some BGM previews here: https://www.youtube.com/@gosatsuvns/playlists).
- Lots of Love for Dinosaurs!
