【Game System】

This is a mystery adventure game in which the player solves a series of difficult cases that occur in a fictional town called Marihama City in K Prefecture.

The player controls the main character in the scenario and solves the mystery by selecting commands in the conversation and deduction parts, and by gathering information and evidence that provide clues to solving the case.

The story progresses by command selection, so even beginners can easily play the game.

【Story】

The case is the story of a friend of the game's scenario writer, Masao Ikurumi.

A freelance writer "Renji Mirokuin", who is a writer of occult articles for a living, is assigned to cover an urban legend called "Red Elevator".

The story begins when Renji Mirokuin, a freelance writer who writes occult articles for a living, heads to a condominium where the urban legend "Red Elevator" is said to have originated.

When the elevator is called on the first floor of the haunted apartment building, "BOX" slowly, slowly comes down from the rooftop, which is supposed to be off-limits to visitors.

When the elevator arrives at the first floor, it opens its mouth to reveal a bright red interior...

A strange dwelling full of empty rooms. The residents keep their mouths shut. The "incident eight years ago" is said to be cursed if it is told.

Mirokuin, who pursues the truth hidden in the urban legend, confronts the horror that night.

【Character】

◆Ryosuke Kibukawa (癸生川凌介)

The director of the Kibukawa Detective Agency and a detective himself.

However, he is quite an eccentric character, often causing trouble and confusion for those around him, though he doesn't seem to care about it at all.

It’s completely unclear what he's thinking, but he has led the resolution of numerous difficult cases up to now.

◆Izuna Sagishima (白鷺洲 伊綱)

A detective assistant at the Kibukawa Detective Agency.

Though she is an assistant, she is exceptionally capable, and could likely solve most cases on her own.

However, like her superior, she is unaware of her own quirks. She has a rather eccentric personality, sometimes clumsy, but also sharp enough to make one wonder if it's all part of a calculated act.

◆Masao Ikurumi (生王 正生)

A game scenario writer.

Recently, he has mostly been working on mobile app projects, including turning cases involving the Kibukawa Detective Agency into adventure games for public release.

Because of this "favor," he can never quite stand up to Kibukawa or Izuna, and is always flattered by them, which leads to him being made to work for free.
