  Knight Case Files is Now Available!

  Hello, everyone!I'm Shierin from Hyoukan Studio.Knight Case Files is finally available to play! I'm so happy that this day has come.Planning for this project began in 2023, and we've been working hard on it ever since. There have been moments of fun and joy, but to be honest there were a lot more moments of pain, sadness, and frustration. There were many time when I thought about giving up on this project.But when I thought about all the creators who worked on Knight Case Files and the small but dedicated fan base, I just couldn't bring myself to quit. The core idea for this story came to be around 2011, and before I knew it, I'd been working on this story for 14 years. Call it an obsession or fixation... I just had to do something about this work, which was haunted by regrets. Every time I felt discouraged and considered halting development, I remembered the words of the creators and fans.So I finished it, thanks to my sense of responsibility, my pride, and my fierce determination. A strong feeling: "I don't want any regrets!"I'm just one obscure scenario writer, but maybe somewhere in this world, my work will reach someone. This is a humble wish—no, it's more like a soul-deep shout of a rock band strumming their guitars at max volume,This story centers on a young man named Wilhelm. But you could say that every character could be a protagonist. Look at their lives. Their pasts, their thoughts, their ways of life are depicted. After you finish the game, let's meet again! I'm a very friendly game developer, and I'd love to chat with you all about your thoughts.See you then!

  Cast Comment: Haruto Yamazaki as Tei!

  ※機械翻訳を使用しています。※Machine translation is being used.キャストコメント紹介テイ役：山崎陽斗Cast CommentsTei role: Haruto Yamazaki質問１：Knight Case Filesシリーズの印象を教えてくださいこの作品はキャラクターの心情を凄く大事にしている作品だと感じました。登場人物それぞれに大切な人や因縁のある人物がいて、そのキャラクター同士の関係性であったり執着が丁寧に描写されていて、イラストやダークな雰囲気も相まってとても引き込まれる作品だと思います。Question 1: What are your impressions of the Knight Case Files series?This work feels like it places tremendous importance on the characters' inner feelings.Each character has someone important to them or someone with whom they share a deep connection, and the relationships and obsessions between these characters are depicted with great care. Combined with the illustrations and the dark atmosphere, I find it a truly captivating work.質問２：ご自身のキャラクターを演じる前と演じた後について教えてください最初にオーディションの話を頂いた時、テイは他人に興味がなく、交流も求めていないような人物だと思っていたのですが、実際台本を頂いて演じてみると、マルガに対する不器用な優しさであったり、トファーフに対する感情であったり、とても人間味のある人物だと感じました。ただ、テイとしてはあまり怒り以外の感情を表に出すタイプではないと思うので、抑えつつもどう感情を表現するかがとても大変でした。Question 2: Please tell us about your experience before and after portraying your character.When I first heard about the audition, I thought Tay was someone who had no interest in others and didn't seek connection. But after actually receiving the script and performing the role, I felt he was a very human character—with his clumsy kindness toward Margot and his feelings toward Tofaf. However, I don't think Tay is the type to show much emotion besides anger, so it was incredibly challenging to express his feelings while holding them back.質問３：特に関わりが多かったトファーフに対して思ってることを教えてくださいトファーフは凄く優しい人だと感じました。自分のことを恨んでいるテイにすら歩み寄ろうとするなんてなかなかできることではありません。その優しさ故にテイとは袂を分かつことになりますが、きっとトファーフのしたことは正しかったんだと思います。トファーフとの会話では普段はそっけないテイの感情が爆発するので演じるのがとても楽しかったです。Question 3: Please tell us your thoughts on Topherf, with whom you had particularly frequent I felt Tofaf was an incredibly kind person. Trying to reach out even to Tei, who resented him, is no small feat. That very kindness led to his parting ways with Tei, but I truly believe what Tofaf did was right.In the scenes with Tofaf...

  Cast Comment: Maria Noda as Margarethe!

  ※機械翻訳を使用しています。※Machine translation is being used.キャストコメント紹介マルガレーテ役：野田真理愛Cast CommentsMargarethe role: Maria Noda質問１：Knight Case Filesシリーズの印象を教えてください『Knight Case Files』シリーズは、ただのファンタジーではなく、人の「生と死」、そして「真実と偽り」が何層にも重なった物語だなぁという印象です。少しずつ真相の輪郭が浮かび上がってくるのも面白く、それぞれのキャラクターの感情が丁寧に描かれているのがとても魅力的でした。Question 1: What are your impressions of the Knight Case Files series?The Knight Case Files series isn't just fantasy; it leaves me with the impression of a story layered with multiple dimensions of human “life and death” and “truth and falsehood.” It's fascinating how the truth gradually comes into focus, and the meticulous portrayal of each character's emotions is truly captivating.質問２：ご自身のキャラクターを演じる前と演じた後について教えてくださいマルガレーテというキャラクターは、いわゆる「ドSな悪役令嬢」というイメージを持っていたのですが、実際に演じていく中で、その裏にある孤独や誇りのようなものがじわじわと感じられて、どんどん好きになっていきました。「すべてを掌の上で転がすような狡猾さ」と、「決して折れない芯の強さ」、そして「儚さ」。そのバランスが演じていて楽しかったですし、難しくもありました。Question 2: Please tell us about your experience before and after portraying your character.The character Margarete had this image of being a so-called “sadistic villainous noblewoman,” but as I actually played her, I gradually sensed the loneliness and pride lurking beneath that surface, and I grew to like her more and more. The balance between her “cunning, manipulative nature that seems to have everything under her control,” her “unbreakable inner strength,” and her “fragility” was both enjoyable and challenging to portray.質問３：特に関わりが多かったテイに対して思ってることを教えてくださいマルガレーテにとって「テイ」は、唯一“気を許している”相手だったんじゃないかなと思います。命令や皮肉を投げる口調の裏に、ほんの少しだけ滲む信頼や寂しさのようなものを、私自身もどこかで感じながら演じていました。テイとの関係性が、マルガレーテという人物をより立体的にしてくれたと思います。Question 3: Please tell us your thoughts on Tei, with whom you had particularly frequent For Margarete, I think “Tey” was the only person she truly felt comfortable with.While performing, I myself sensed something—a hint of trust or loneliness—seeping through beneath the tone of her commands and sarcasm. I believe her relationship with Tey helped give Margarete a more three-dimensional character.質問４：K...

  Cast Comment: Haruki Sakurai as Kamil!

  ※機械翻訳を使用しています。※Machine translation is being used.キャストコメント紹介カミル役：桜井春樹Cast CommentsKamil role: Haruki Sakurai質問１：Knight Case Filesシリーズの印象を教えてくださいまず最初の時の印象なのですが、一番最初に‪”‬死体殺し‪”‬というワードを見た時脳に電流が走りました。というのもオーディションのお話をお聞きした際、ビジュアルノベルゲーム！！しかもダークファンタジー！？と自分が大好きなジャンルでビジュアルノベルゲーム！イラストも綺麗でカッコよくて可愛くて心打たれて本当に嬉しく携わりたいと思いました。資料を拝見した際に魅力的なキャラクター達や‪”‬死体殺し‪”‬‪ ”‬死霊魔術師‪”‬ ‪”‬錬金魔術師‪”‬など心打たれるワードでこの先どうなるんだろうどんな展開がまっているんだろうとワクワクしました。Question 1: What are your impressions of the Knight Case Files series?My first impression was that when I saw the word “Corpse Killer” for the very first time, it sent a jolt through my brain.You see, when I heard about the audition, I thought, “A visual novel game!! And dark fantasy!? It's a visual novel game in my favorite genre!”The illustrations were beautiful, cool, and cute—they really struck a chord with me, and I was genuinely thrilled to be involved.When I looked at the materials, the charming characters and words like “corpse killer,” “necromancer,” and “alchemist” really struck a chord. I got so excited wondering what would happen next and what kind of developments awaited.質問２：ご自身のキャラクターを演じる前と演じた後について教えてくださいカミルを演じる前はかなり堅物、真面目なキャラクターという印象を感じました。堅物、真面目だけれども、ただルール厳守！というよりは人の事を思いやれる、人に寄り添える一面もある人なのかな？と思いました。あと収録の際にカミルは‪‪”普通‪‪”の人というお話をお聞きして、予想も出来ない事に遭遇した際カミルはどう思って感じるだろうと改めて考えました。特殊な設定や複雑な生い立ちがない人間が日常ではない非日常な事が起こり、想像も起きえない事が起きたら？と。演じた後も堅物であったり真面目な部分もある印象は残っていて、でもヴィルヘルム、幼馴染の前ではかなり砕ける瞬間もあり素の部分が見えてただ硬いだけじゃなく人間味もある人なんだなと感じました。あと初出勤でのやりとりの際、いろんな表情が見えてカミルの事だけではなく、ヴィルとの関係性やどう思ってるなどより強く感じました。Question 2: Please tell us about your experience before and after portraying your character.Before playing Kamil, I had the impression he was quite a stiff, serious character.Stiff and serious, but rather than just strictly following rules, I wondered if he might also have a side that cares about others and can empathize with them?Also, during recording, I heard that Kamil is an “ordinary” person, which made me reconsider how he might think and feel when encountering something ...

  Cast Comment: Taichi Jingu as Leonhard!

  ※機械翻訳を使用しています。※Machine translation is being used.キャストコメント紹介レオンハルト役：神宮泰知Cast CommentsLeonhard role: Taichi Jingu質問１：Knight Case Filesシリーズの印象を教えてください引き込まれそうなる美麗で素敵な世界観で、もっと先をみてみたいと思ったのが、印象として残っています。ストーリーや「不死鳥王国」「死霊魔術」といったキーワードの数々、キャラクター達の美麗なイラスト・雰囲気からキャラクター達はどうなっていくのか…どういう結末を辿っていくのか、すごくワクワクした覚えがあります。特にトファーフ様のように男女別の姿を持つキャラクターもいますので…物語を進めていく上でどうなっていくのか、すごく楽しみです！Question 1: What are your impressions of the Knight Case Files series?I remember being captivated by its beautiful and wonderful world, wanting to see what lay ahead.The story, keywords like “Phoenix Kingdom” and “necromantic magic,” and the beautiful character illustrations and atmosphere all made me incredibly excited to see how the characters would develop... and what kind of ending they would reach. Especially with characters like Lord Tofaf, who have separate male and female forms... I'm really looking forward to seeing how that plays out as the story progresses!質問２：ご自身のキャラクターを演じる前と演じた後について教えてください僕の演じたレオンハルトですが、演じる前は、クールで威厳もあって、カッコ良い面もありつつも俺様な方なのかなあと感じていたのですが…演じた後は、カッコ良さもあり可愛さもあってギャップがすごくある方なんだなあと思いました。クールかと思ったら、好きな人には好きって言えそうな雰囲気ですし、パン作りが趣味で庶民的な一面もみせますけどそれには彼なりの目的もあるんです。それにはっきり善悪の区別をつけれるし、情報通で知識も豊富で、彼が国王と言われると納得できる方です。国王になったために可愛い悩みもあったりするんですけど…。演技の方ですが、苦労したのはギャップの振り幅ですね。本当に別人かと思うほどに変わっちゃうので、でもレオンハルトはレオンハルトというか…そこはブレないように意識しながら演じました。演じれば演じるほど本当に魅力的な方なので彼の過去やもっともっと未来の彼についても知りたくなりました…！！Question 2: Please tell us about your experience before and after portraying your character.Before playing Leonhardt, I thought he was cool, dignified, and handsome, but maybe a bit arrogant... After playing him, I realized he's actually handsome and cute too—there's a huge gap there. You might think he's cool, but he has this vibe where he could tell someone he likes them. He has a down-to-earth side, like baking bread being his hobby, but even that has his own purpose. He clearly distinguishes right from wrong, is well-informed, and has a wealth of knowledge. When you hear he's the king, it makes perfect sense. Though becomi...
