About this game

The Diary is a 2D suspenseful narrative puzzle game that revolves around several distinct "diaries," including a journal full of life but full of doubts, two investigative notebooks written by different people, and the planner's diary, which will all be displayed before you.

By solving each page's puzzle, you will turn the pages and gradually gain insight into a heart-stopping missing case. From different perspectives, you will uncover the buried past behind the case.

· Open an unknown diary and search for its owner while solving puzzles

· Among 6 characters, whose perspective are you reading the diary from?

· With multiple reversals, the answer may be right in front of you or it may never appear

    A Message to Our Diary Readers

    Dear All Diary Readers,The Diary officially launched on June 20, and it's now been a week since release. We'd like to take a moment to connect with you and share some thoughts.Since launch, we’ve been carefully reading through your feedback—whether it’s encouragement, criticism, or thoughtful suggestions. Some diary readers have expressed concerns such as:"There’s just not enough content to justify the price.""I’m not sure what the story is really about—it feels too vague.""It looks nice, but I finished it too quickly and was left a bit disappointed."These are just a few examples, but they echo three common themes: limited content, unclear storytelling, and pricing concerns.

Ultimately, we chose the latter, deliberately omitting direct references to the key “plan” in the narrative. We aimed to provide space for interpretation, allowing players to uncover the story’s mysteries through reflection. However, we recognize that we may not have struck the right balance between revelation and ambiguity.3. About “Limited Content”We’ve received suggestions to include...
