Korean indie developer LOTS brought Room 502: Boarding School Youth Mystery to BitSummit PUNCH, held May 22-24, 2026. The game is a cozy mystery adventure set at Myeongso High School, a fully boarding school. The protagonist, Shin Heeun, is a realist new student who arrives to find one of her roommates missing. Players gather hints through conversation and then use a circular deduction board: confirmed facts go on the outer ring, hypotheses on inner rings, and reaching the center reveals the truth. The UI includes a minimap and a timeline for easy navigation. The first episode was playable at the show.
