Idea Factory Launches IFChronicle Brand, Reveals ICONOLOGY

Idea Factory announced on September 30, 2026 that it has established a new brand, IFChronicle, which is focused on conversation-based adventure games and is planned as a global label rather than a domestic one. The first title from the brand is ICONOLOGY, a crime suspense adventure game for Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch Lite, and PC via Steam. Character design is by Teita, whose credits include Fate/Grand Order and Charade Maniacs, and the scenario is by Makoto Fukami, who has written for the PSYCHO-PASS anime series and the Resident Evil: Vendetta and Resident Evil: Death Island films. Director is Asami Saito. The protagonist, art university student Haruho Tsubakiya, is scouted by the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department's Advanced Technology Investigation Division, nicknamed Sentoka. She uses a device called the White Cube, which extracts images from a suspect's brain as paintings, to work unsolved cases with a partner. Release date and price are undecided.
