—This is an original orthodox detective mystery game. The player suddenly takes possession of Roran, who hopes to report to the academy. You must investigate and deduce the truth behind a series of bizarre incidents that obstruct his journey, helping him successfully reach the academy.
Gap World Events
SteamOriginal Authentic Mystery (The main tricks try to avoid those from mystery novels I've read, though I haven't read many).
Similar to the mode of "Golden Idol", where clues are gathered and questions are answered (with limited choices, mainly to ensure everyone can follow the entire story, while mystery enthusiasts can pause at certain points).
You suddenly find yourself possessing Roran (the son of a knight in a medieval-like world). You need to help him report to the academy, but along the way, you encounter various incidents (the first event mainly introduces the background, followed by four murder cases, which may include elements such as poisoning, decapitation, locked rooms, alibis, serial killings, and Snowbound Manor).
Obtain clues through dialogue or investigation.

Some options may require obtaining other clues first to unlock.

Use the obtained clues to answer questions.


Later, you will also encounter operations that require clicking on key points.

Of course, you will also encounter some simple battles along the way.

Some culprits may initiate combat, possibly because they are more hot-tempered.
