About This Game

Many years ago, the popular high-school student Ann Sakura went missing in mysterious circumstances. Despite her uncountable efforts to find her, Ran Ibuki never lost hope of holding the girl in her arms once again. Now, an old and dilapidated school in the middle of the forest is giving her that chance, but not at a low cost…

In The Chrono Jotter, Ran will find herself trapped in a chilling game of death and life as she fights to bring Ann back. The students in the school used to be slaughtered and, still, no one knows the identity of the murderer! To get out alive, Ran will be forced to solve this mystery. Fortunately, this place seems to have awakened a very convenient power within Ibuki: now, she’s able to go back in time every time someone dies.

Follow Ran in her travels to the past and help her find out the truth by gathering decisive clues. But what’s more important: don’t let anyone know about your little secret — after all, the one who slaughters can also tremble like a victim.

KEY FEATURES


  • Investigate a series of murders at the high school while trying to find your missing girlfriend.
  • Use your new found time-travelling skills to go back in time after every murder and find valuable clues.
  • Don't trust anyone! Even the most popular person in high school (or your closest friend) might be a murderer.
  • Places disappearing, the sound of footsteps behind you, silkworms trapping you inside cocoons.. is this real or is your mind tricking you again? Trying to discern reality from hallucinations is part of the challenge in this investigation.
