About this gameFull description from Steam
Immersive Hardcore Deduction System You are not just playing a detective; you are becoming one. Step into the shoes of a cold, meticulous investigator and plunge into the dense fog of complex mysteries. Organize evidence, search for clues, cross-verify information, and rebuild rigorous logic from chaotic narratives. The system delivers an experience driven entirely by pure deduction. All-New Hardcore "Inquiry" Mechanic Don't settle for passively reading files! In the brand-new Inquiry system, you will engage in direct psychological warfare. Present contradictory clues with precision to strike directly at the subjects' mental defenses. Shatter their lies with ironclad evidence, apply relentless pressure, and force them to surrender the secrets they guard so fiercely. Intersecting Multi-Linear Narrative A single email, a phone call, or a piece of testimony could pull the thread on another entirely hidden storyline. Coupled with the detailed post-case "Analysis," you will re-examine this intricate web of information from a God's-eye view. The ultimate truth may be far beyond anything you initially imagined. Standalone Entry & Deep Lore Connections Even if you start your journey with this installment, you can experience the complete investigative process without any barriers. But if you are a returning veteran, you will uncover spine-tingling deep connections: familiar faces will reappear, and your past choices will leave an indelible mark on this new narrative. Key Features All-New Inquiry System: Present crucial evidence, confront subjects head-on, and crush their lies in intense psychological warfare! Active Deduction Gameplay: Absolutely no hand-holding. Rely entirely on your own logic to piece together the full picture of the crime! Standalone Yet Interconnected: Zero-barrier entry for newcomers, paired with exclusive, deep-universe easter eggs for veteran detectives!
