Trailer, Steam, and Gameplay

The Demo Opens With the “Ghost Photo Booth” Case
The playable section comes from the beginning of Case 1. Tsujitsuma and his team arrive at an arcade while investigating a murder, where a rumor claims that people who use a certain photo booth can disappear.
The short demo introduces conversations, clue gathering and the way supernatural phenomena overlap with a conventional criminal investigation.
Memories of the Dead Become Evidence
The game's defining mechanic is Tsujitsuma's ability to perceive ghost memories.
Those memories may reveal something a spirit witnessed during an incident or trauma carried from its past. Players compare them against testimony and physical evidence to expose contradictions that ordinary investigation alone cannot reveal.
Investigation Uses Three Main Phases
Gameplay is structured around Conversation, Deduction, and Salvation.
Conversation covers interviews and point-and-click investigation. Deduction connects evidence, testimony and ghost memories, while Salvation reconstructs the case and asks the player to determine who caused the incident, why it happened and how it was carried out.
The Full Game Will Contain Four Cases
YOKUNIKU plans the main story as four cases presented in an omnibus structure.
The demo contains only the opening of the first episode. The full game's launch date remains unannounced, while the title is also scheduled to participate in Steam Next Fest in October 2026.
Why This Matters
1) The mystery extends beyond living witnesses
Ghosts and their memories actively function as evidence rather than serving only as horror imagery.
2) The demo provides a compact introduction
At roughly 20 minutes, it demonstrates the cast, supernatural premise and investigation loop without revealing too much of the first case.
3) The four-case format fits its procedural structure
Each episode can introduce a different supernatural incident while continuing the larger story surrounding Tsujitsuma, Damian and the Angelic Agency.
