About this game

New Year, 1992.

The renowned singer Nightingale was murdered. Due to a lack of evidence, every suspect was acquitted.

Five years later, a police officer is determined to bring those responsible to justice. Your task is to track down the current whereabouts of every suspect.

Armed with nothing more than an ordinary tape recorder and a public payphone, you will search for clues, speak with witnesses, save selected lines from their conversations onto cassette tape, and replay those fragments to expose contradictions in their testimonies and uncover the truth behind the case.

Features:

  • Telephone conversations built around collecting and replaying dialogue fragments

  • Examine evidence and interact with mechanisms in a 3D world

  • Experience a detective story through a nostalgic PSX-inspired visual style
