“This is a puzzle game that we threw ourselves headlong into after an intense discussion between game director Koichiro Ito, who has created many adventure games, and Yasuhito Tachibana, producer of The Naked Director on Netflix, themed live action game designed for gamers. An elaborate storyline, a game experience in which you use your reasoning faculties to unmask the culprit, and the huge secret that connects several murders that occurred in different eras… We have started the last phase of development and want to make it a puzzle game that everyone can enjoy. I hope you can’t wait to find out“, said Junichi Ehara, producer at Square Enix.
