Story:

Sunday, September 12, 2010

When a body is found at the Kaseki Residence, once home to a world-renowned paleontologist, rookie officers Keiichi Genba, Himatsu Mizu, Rei Shirayuki and Dr. Shinketsu Kikai
are tasked with investigating the scene.

Not only do they need to uncover the identity of the victim
and reconstruct the events leading up to his untimely death…

...they will also need to learn how to effectively work as a team in order to do so.


Features:

  • 4 Team Members through whose eyes the story is told, each one specializing in another crucial area of crime scene investigation.
  • Interactive Elements which, depending on whose role you assume, will let you investigate the scene, examine the body or interview the parties involved.
  • Evidence Presentation to back up your claims as you unravel the truth and determine who is responsible for killing the victim.
  • Choices that not only affect your Detective Rank, but also influence dialogues as well as relationships and unlock bonus content upon the story’s completion.
  • Bonding Moments with your teammates in which you can learn more about their troubles and motivations and help set them on the right path.
  • Digital Notebook which summarizes the investigation’s progression, provides you with additional info about the case and characters, and which is frequently updated to help you keep track of gathered clues and evidence.
  • Different Endings depending on your deductions, so be careful not to arrest the wrong person!
  • Unlockable Extras including a gallery and more.
  • Original Soundtrack composed by Solo Acapello (you can check out some BGM previews here).
  • Lots of Love for Dinosaurs!
  • Demo:

    This demo contains the prologue and about 60% of the first chapter.
    It amounts to approximately 26,000 words, with a playtime between 2 - 3 hours,
    depending on your reading speed and how thorough you are.

    Its main purpose is to introduce the basic premise and major characters,
    while giving you an idea of the feel and direction of our new project.
    And, of course, to hopefully provide us with some useful feedback in the process!

    If you decide to try it out, we would appreciate to hear your impressions and suggestions.

    A mystery visual novel about dinosaurs? Sign me up! Is this still being worked on?

    Yes, it's still in development, but we're aiming to finally finish it up before the end of the year! Currently, we're about to wrap up the penultimate chapter, so the finish line is slowly coming into view at last!

    Good luck! I'm curious how it goes 😁
