Is a gripping horror puzzle game where you step into the role of a lone investigator piecing together eerie mysteries in a shadowy, retro-inspired Japan. You’ll switch between the perspectives of a detective, journalist, and profiler, scrutinizing CCTV footage to uncover hidden clues. The game challenges you with seven days of investigation per case, as you analyze footage for each unsolved mystery—Case 1: Stalker, Case 2: The Ritual, and Case 3: Quiet Gardener. Each day unlocks a new video, and you’re limited to two rewinds or restarts per case, forcing careful observation. After watching, tackle diverse quizzes—multiple choice, short answers, and sequence matching—to sharpen your deduction skills. With five lives that reset after each case, mistakes cost dearly. The atmosphere is thick with tension, driven by deep bass, dissonant tones, and sudden jump scares. Realistic sound design, from CCTV static to distant whispers.
