About this game

"Nothing hits better in the morning than the news of your grandfather being assassinated.
Besides the news of the police trying to cover it up, of course."

Ten years ago, a madman leveled a city district with his supernatural ability. Today, his crime is used to justify the persecution of superpowered individuals.

A prominent advocate for esper rights is assassinated on the brink of an important election. Find out the who, the why, the how, and if this is connected to the catastrophe.

  • 8 unique endings, and each one gets you a little closer to the ultimate answer. Would you rather work with the police or a shady information broker? Do both to learn the truth.

  • A grand conspiracy to uncover. There are holes in the decade-old catastrophe story. There is someone out there tracking your location. There is something wrong with the local police chief.

  • A charismatic cast of characters from superhuman detectives to double-crossing ministers. (Includes a telepathic sidekick!)

  • Frame-by-frame animation in cutscenes. Every pixel on the screen is put down with intention, every frame is crafted by hand.

  • Colorful environments you can revisit and explore. Sometimes the city reacts to you in small ways, sometimes it's affected by your investigation in very big ways.

"What freedoms does an individual have to sacrifice in order to fit in with society?
There is no universal answer, but the freedom to kill with your mind
seems like a damn good start."

While you’re looking for answers, someone is looking for you. One wrong move can mean death, and sometimes there is no way around it: the enemy knows more than you do.

Try again.

Pick another lead, trust another shady figure. Obtain a useful connection in a different timeline, and you might be able to bypass the roadblock. Or not.
