Overview

Detective Araka plunges players into a disorienting mystery where amnesia is just the beginning. You awaken in a hospital with no recollection of your past, told you were found amidst the survivors of a devastating landslide that struck the remote village of Inusai. With only a handful of change and a mysterious connection to the buried village, your only recourse is to investigate the site yourself. The situation grows increasingly bizarre as you discover Inusai remains eerily intact, its inhabitants acting as if no tragedy occurred. Soon, you realize escape is no longer an option, trapping you in a loop of supernatural events and forgotten truths.
