How the Game Unfolds

0. Tutorial An NPC guide welcomes you, much like when visiting a physical murder mystery venue.

We have prepared a careful, easy-to-understand tutorial for beginners who are new to murder mysteries.

1. Memory of the Crime Each player chooses one of the four suspects and relives the day of the incident from that character’s perspective.

What kind of person are you? Are you the culprit? What secrets and goals do you have?

All of this is revealed here.

These scenes are presented in a 3D visual novel format, making them not only visually engaging, but also easier to remember when it comes to the finer details of the case.

2. Investigation Players split into two pairs to investigate the manor and collect evidence.

It is important to collect and hide evidence that could be inconvenient for you, but it is also important to find key evidence that may help identify the culprit and share it with your allies.

3. Discussion Share the information you each possess, including memories from the day of the incident and the evidence you have collected, and work together to unravel the truth behind the case.

Evidence you want everyone to see can be placed on the table to make it “public.”

4. Voting Based on the clues gathered so far, players vote on who they believe the culprit is.

The person who receives the most votes is restrained as the culprit.

This is where fate branches.

5. Ending The ending is presented as a 3D visual novel in which all players participate, and the route changes depending on the result of the vote.

Did you manage to protect your secret? Were you able to identify the culprit?

Act out the conclusion together, and witness the ending with your own eyes.

6. Truth Revealed The NPC guide appears once again, and the full truth behind the incident is explained.

7. After-Talk Inside a train at sunset, you can spend 30 minutes talking with everyone about the story you just experienced.
