Actors and actor’s words

Nanami Sakuraba Decoration Performance Haruka Kawakawa

The protagonist is a new and exciting suspense novelist.

With a clear mind, she is not only good at creating suspense tricks, but also at solving mysteries. Entrusted by Yongji to investigate forty houses.

I’m Sakurai Naomi who plays Kagawa Miharu.

This work is a movie-style game. The protagonist and the player will find out the murder cases that have occurred in forty families over the past century.

Because the video is played by a real person,

So please be sure to savor the delicate expressions, behaviors and movements that cannot be shown in CG games!

I hope everyone can enjoy the game with Haruka and solve the mystery of the case.

Yuta Hiraoka Ornamental Performance Eiji Forty

A cell cyclist, the second son of the Shijian family.

In order to explore the mystery of the “fruit of immortality” and the “bone corpse”, he returned to the forty house that he had been away for many years.

I am Yuta Hiraoka who played the two roles of Naiji Shikkan and Rusui Kusaka in this work.

For the story unfolding across generations in the game,

My first impressions were “Can this really be done?” and “The script is amazing”.

Although the sheer volume of lines and the tight schedule of shooting made people dizzy,

However, it is obvious that the post-production parts can be processed by techniques such as CG.

This work insists on the use of traditional on-site shooting presentations.

I think the retro atmosphere and the acting skills of the actors can also bring players an immersive feeling.

I hope you all enjoy this story regarding the mysteries and cases of forty families spanning a century and a love story spanning generations.

I’m sure the ending will surprise everyone.

Yuki Kaji Decorative performance Makoto Nishimari

The self-reported name is the name of the protagonist in the novel “Detective Nishizuru Makoto” written by Haruka.

Hired by Yong, came to find out the mystery of many deaths in the forty houses.

I am Yutaka Kaji, who has the honor to appear in “The Centennial Case: A Shijima Story” this time.

I think this work is full of both drama and game charm, and it is a new suspense adventure game that can only be experienced in this form.

Xizhao Zhenqin is an elusive and mysterious man.

At that time, I received a warm invitation to “I hope to express the character’s personality with the unique and impressive voice of the voice actor”, and I was fortunate to participate in this work.

When I played this role, I tried to subtly show that kind of aura of unknown origin.

In a sense, he is also an important person who holds the key to the story. I hope everyone can pay more attention to him.

Momo Asakura decoration performance Kanako

A trainee singer working at the nightclub “Akatsura”.

She has a strong longing for Aya, who is called the Queen of Ageless Songs.

This time I will play Kanako, a girl who has a strong longing for the queen of the song, Aya.

Because she is very forthright, she sometimes makes bold moves.

In order to make Kanako more attractive, I paid special attention to showing a delicate expression during the performance, so I hope you can observe it carefully.

This game is an orthodox suspense work. While playing, you can also think regarding what happened, who is the murderer, try to reason and catch the real murderer!
