In the pale dull sky, I follow his shadow....
The Kibukawa Detective Agency eight years ago, another great detective.

【Game System】

This is a mystery adventure game in which the player solves a series of difficult cases that occur in a fictional town called Marihama City in K Prefecture.

The player controls the main character in the scenario and solves the mystery by selecting commands in the conversation and deduction parts, and by gathering information and evidence that will serve as clues to solve the case.

The story progresses by selecting commands, so even beginners can easily play the game.

【Story】

The case is set in Marihama-dai during the rainy season, the first heavy rain in eight years, in a dull rain pattern that spreads as if to take away the color of the town.

The story begins with a client visiting the "Kibukawa Detective Agency.

This is the Kibukawa Detective Agency, isn't it?

I believe there is an assistant detective here named Sagishima-san.

No, no, not a girl like you...there was a young man named Sagishima, wasn't there? There was a young man named Sagishima..."

The client said he had come to fulfill a "promise made eight years ago" to a young man named Sagishima, who used to work at the detective agency.

As heavy rain pelted the window, Izuna Sagishima, the current assistant detective, began to listen to the client's story in order to take over the case.

He is told about a case he took on eight years ago, which the young man, who used to work at the detective agency side by side with Ryosuke Kibukawa, took on.

【Character】

◆Ryosuke Kibukawa (癸生川凌介)

The director of the Kibukawa Detective Agency and a detective himself.

However, he is quite an eccentric character, often causing trouble and confusion for those around him, though he doesn't seem to care about it at all.

It’s completely unclear what he's thinking, but he has led the resolution of numerous difficult cases up to now.

◆Izuna Sagishima (白鷺洲 伊綱)

A detective assistant at the Kibukawa Detective Agency.

Though she is an assistant, she is exceptionally capable, and could likely solve most cases on her own.

However, like her superior, she is unaware of her own quirks. She has a rather eccentric personality, sometimes clumsy, but also sharp enough to make one wonder if it's all part of a calculated act.

◆Masao Ikurumi (生王 正生)

A game scenario writer.

Recently, he has mostly been working on mobile app projects, including turning cases involving the Kibukawa Detective Agency into adventure games for public release.

Because of this "favor," he can never quite stand up to Kibukawa or Izuna, and is always flattered by them, which leads to him being made to work for free.
