About This Game

Enter the shadowy streets of mid-1900s Europe as a vengeful protagonist, only to find your nemesis slain by another's hand.

Framed for a crime you didn't commit, unravel the mystery of your enemy's demise while navigating a web of deceit and betrayal.

With each playthrough, discover new killers and methods, all while racing to clear your name.

Will you solve the case, or become the next victim of a twisted game?

Key Features:

Looping Detective Game: Solve one case, and as time resets, immerse yourself in solving recurring cases to unveil hidden truths previously unknown. While the same victim always meets demise, the murderer and method differ, providing a unique and gripping experience.

Adventure: Explore diverse locations in town, gather case clues, engage in conversations, and track down suspects.

Interrogation and Mindreading: Detect suspicious cues during conversations, interrogate individuals with appropriate evidence, and expose concealed truths. Utilize psychic readings to fathom your opponent's true state of mind and leverage it to your advantage.

Dice-rolling: Customize your character's appearance, stats, and skills, then roll the dice to determine your actions. The success or failure of your skills dictates your actions and steers the storyline.

Multi-Ending: Each chapter boasts multiple endings based on your decisions, actions, and relationships with characters. Unravel repeated murders and unearth hidden conspiracies and truths!
