About
Latest version [2.0.5]
When the protagonist wakes up, they find themselves lost in a different world. As they learn the words of the mysterious monsters that speak a strange language, they search for a way to escape.

In this alternate world, a different language is used. Players will interpret and dechiper characters' words through expressions, gestures and the objects they point to.

The language of this world isn’t as refined as human languages. One meaning is concentrated in one word, with almost no particles; a string of words conveys only a rough meaning.

This is a point-and-click adventure game. Players will investigate items to learn words or engage in conversation to progress.

Choices for actions are available at various points. Small changes in development, branching paths, or even instant death can occur.

Even if you reach a game over, you can retry from just before without any penalties.
There’s no affection management, and acquiring flags will unlock more choices. Players can freely jump back to previously encountered scenes from chapters and try again. Play comfortably and easily!

There are 20 types of mid-story endings (bad endings or unresolved problems).
There are a total of 17 endings, including character route endings and late-stage endings upon reaching Chapter 5.
*Note: There is a fake ending presented as a happy ending midway through the story, so please be careful not to misunderstand.

◆Playtime
It takes about 5 hours to complete one full playthrough of all routes.
*This game is designed with replayability in mind, where understanding character conversations may require re-watching scenes after filling up the dictionary.
◆Playing without sound is not recommended (There are sound-based effects).
Players who want to make the characters say funny things or try different playful approaches are also welcome to enjoy the game freely.

Homicipher — Выживи, выучив язык монстров Суть игры: Вы попали в другой мир, где живут жуткие, но по-своему обаятельные монстры. Они не говорят на человеческом языке. Чтобы выжить и найти путь домой, вам придется расшифровывать их слова через контекст. Как играть? Это смесь детектива и визуальной новеллы. Монстр говорит слово «мирак», показывает на вас и улыбается. Что это значит? «Помощь» или «Убийство»? Нажимайте на слово, пишите свою догадку, и если она верна — оно добавится в ваш словарь. Ошибетесь — получите одну из десятков внезапных концовок (иногда летальных). К счастью, переигрывать моменты можно за пару секунд. Почему стоит поиграть: Уникальная механика. Это не просто клики по тексту, а настоящая дешифровка чужого языка. Запоминающиеся персонажи. От пугающего Мистера Кроулинга до хаотичного Мистера Гэпа — у каждого свой характер и необычные сцены взаимодействия. Мрачная атмосфера. Никакой крови фонтаном, только давящее чувство неизвестности и легкий налет лавкрафтианского ужаса. Высокая реиграбельность. В игре 34 основные концовки, которые интересно собирать ради полноты сюжета. Кому зайдет: Тем, кто любит загадки, нестандартные истории и готов думать во время чтения. Если вам понравились Chants of Senaar или серия Zero Escape, Homicipher подарит похожие эмоции. Игра короткая (около 8–10 часов), недорогая, но оставляет очень яркие впечатления. Отличный выбор для тех, кому надоели стандартные симуляторы свиданий 😸

Fantastic language deciphering game with horror elements.
w game, so fun 20/10
好玩好玩,以为是男鬼其实是小狗
i don't wanna say that i love this game just because of how fine the characters are, but yes i mostly love this game because of how FINE the characters are.
I've played 3 episodes thus far and am already deeply attached to Mr. Crawling. Also Mr. Chopped. I have very little clues as to what's being said but by god am I doing my best!! This has been a fantastic adventure but it is 2 am and I need to sleep even though I wish I could have Mr. Crawling with me at all times.
terror + homens gostosos... perfeito
Loved the concept of playing a high-stakes Duolingo session with monsters! The atmosphere is genuinely great. But calling this an Otome game is false. You never get past surface-level interactions with the characters, and the endings just sort of fizzle out. I guess the game mechanic is partially at fault for that. Though even with Mr. Crawling, the "romance" basically consists of him deciding not to murder you on sight. I would love to see a sequel though, perhaps with actual dark romance and romance options?
