Ren: Kujūshima Warabebuta Serial Murder Memorandum Launches July 28

Independent developer Renka announced the mystery visual novel 'Ren: Kujūshima Warabebuta Serial Murder Memorandum' for Steam on July 28, 2026. The game is set on an isolated island where a crime notice is given via a children's song and seven geniuses gather. It features classic locked room mysteries, astrology, and a puzzle of flesh and blood. Renka has released five games in 2026 so far.

The game includes a 'modern locked room' with surveillance cameras, a 'classic locked room', astrology, and a 'puzzle of flesh and blood'. Seven geniuses assemble after a crime notice delivered via a children's song. Developer Renka, who has released five games in 2026 already, said they packed the game with classic mystery elements because they wanted to try making a mystery at least once. Renka's previous Steam release, 'How Much for a Corpse in a Stalker?', holds a 'Very Positive' rating. The new visual novel is scheduled for July 28 on Steam.
