A murder mystery adventure game based on writings of Misa Yamamura, a Japanese writer of murder mystery novels. The protagonist of the story is Akiko Sonoyama, a freelancer who finds herself in the middle of a murder mystery after the son of the host dies during the dinner right after drinking the wine. The game uses live-action videos and actors and shows the player protagonist in 3rd-person during an investigation, similar to other games of such era, such as
The Beast Within: A Gabriel Knight Mystery (1995) or
Phantasmagoria 2: A Puzzle of Flesh (1996). During gameplay, the full-screen videos appear in the center of the screen with the border around the window showing various action icons and game progress. While the player character appears during cut-scenes and dialogues, navigating the environment is done in the first-person perspective. During dialogues, the player has a list of questions one can ask with replies being a set of live-action videos of certain characters addressing the player.
