Game Cycle
The game revolves around a cycle of exploration, evidence gathering, drug preparation, information organization, and deduction, allowing players to gradually uncover the truth. Each phase influences the others, and players solve difficult cases through deduction, using items obtained through drug preparation and the results of negotiations.
Gathering evidence and deduction
Fragmented information gathered through conversations and field research is accumulated in a notebook, and correlations are visualized through information organization. In the deduction part, the presentation and combination of evidence, and the correctness of choices, directly affect the reliability. Incorrect answers reduce the reliability, and repeated incorrect answers can lead the story into a dead end. This game is full of episodes that demand careful choices and offer thrilling, nail-biting battles.
Gathering materials and preparing medicine
Gather ingredients in the field and try various potions by mixing them in a balanced way. The difficulty of the potion-making mini-game and the quality of the finished product change depending on the type and quality of the ingredients, so you'll find yourself engrossed in potion making again and again. There's also a function that automatically creates high-quality potions when you want to make them quickly. You'll experience the fun and sense of accomplishment that comes from seeing your creativity and ingenuity directly translate into results.
