About the game
A puppy named Teddy, found dead under mysterious circumstances. Master Reed, vanished in a bustling temple fair crowd. Years of grudges festering at the Shipwreck Wharf. Scattered newspapers and handwritten notes in an unknown prison... Traverse the eclectic districts of Dark Tide City and investigate a string of bizarre cases.
Recover the city's lost memories. Piece together the truth behind the city's fracture ten years ago. Kill. Judge. Or perhaps… kiss(?) the mastermind.
It pairs 3D HD environments with 2D pixel characters, creating a striking modern-vs-retro visual style, and offers a wide range of freely explorable locations across distinct districts, including the rusting steel jungle of a long-shuttered factory, the muddy Shipwreck Wharf built on stilts, the floating slum of the Pig Cage Walled City where Chinese tradition and neon lights bleed into one another, and the bustling, crowded streets of the Old Town District.
Freely choose how to improve your abilities: Strength, Spirit, Charm. Pick your own approach to each case: Play mind games? Grease some palms? Or just beat a confession out of the suspect?
Deduction System: Gather, analyze, and connect the clues. Craft your own unique investigation trail!
Meet the people of Dark Tide City and uncover the stories behind their masks... whether it's the sanctimonious Captain Theo, the fiery young Axel Flint (son of Griff Flint), the defiant Rafe Carter, the cheerful shutterbug Kiki, the elegant Mrs. Reed, the rumored hex-casting Priestess, the warm-hearted fishmonger Auntie Bass, or the foul-mouthed little rascal Chiffon.
The Shadow: A strange creature clinging to your back. It reads memories and reconstructs the traces of the dead.
"Don't worry, Lucas. We're just using each other. You use me to find the killer, and me? I love nothing more than feasting on the bizarre tales. Hahaha—!"
