The death-game mystery adventure from developer PHOSEPO, published by Thermite Games and Smilegate, sends 13 patients with cognitive abnormalities into trials where an unseen murder makes the killer a god.
The game's premise turns each trial into a problem of unreliable perception: one patient's compulsive honesty exposes every lie, while another's prosopagnosia hides the culprit's face. Crime scenes are distorted by whoever's cognitive abnormality is in play, so players have to identify both the trick and the condition behind it. In Debate Mode, the deduction climax, players decide within a time limit whether to accept a statement or present evidence against it. The release runs at 2,800 yen, with a 10 percent launch discount to 2,520 yen through November 20, and a demo is available on Steam.
