About

Title Suggestion: Enigma of the Paranormal Investigator: A Mysterious Journey

This title presents a fresh take on the mystery genre where players are tasked with uncovering clues, organizing them into evidence, and exposing discrepancies among them to unravel a sequence of eerie killings.

The game takes place in an imaginary 1960s London, where a tenth of its inhabitants possess unusual, supernatural talents. Frequent events involving these gifted individuals and their associates are a regular occurrence within this city.

In this scenario, gamers assume the identity of the latest detective within the Mana Affairs Division, Notrick. As these occurrences are intricately linked to the supernatural capabilities of the culprits, traditional investigation techniques won’t suffice for resolution. Instead, the players will need to decipher the clues hidden in the documents that detail each suspect’s specific abilities in order to understand and ultimately solve these mysteries.

Combine the Evidence Uncovered Through Supernatural Powers

Fortunately, it’s not only the criminals who have these supernatural abilities.

Apart from Notrick himself, all the detectives working within the Mana Affairs Division hold additional roles as staff members. The seasoned investigators leverage their unique, supernatural talents to examine crime sites and compile their discoveries into reports.

Examine conflicting accounts of emotional trauma, subtle signs that reveal the timing of evidence discovery, and lingering memories embedded within artifacts—uncover discrepancies by utilizing the diverse hints available to you!

Each mystery unraveled leads you closer to the truth lying at the heart of each case!
