Features

You can move about the campus, make conversations to gather clues, and compare testimonies between students to narrow down the list of possible suspects. When a duel is initiated, you can prove the criminals wrong and give them slaps in the face with “solid” evidence in the course of debates. Easter eggs are hidden in the stories; flirting, dueling with wrong characters, or intentionally losing your life could trigger unexpected events. The campus is waiting for you to explore.

Three different endings await players. Your investigation, hints collected, and final verdict are variables affecting how the game develops.
