In this seek-and-find puzzle game set in 19th century Japan, players attempt to solve the mystery behind an American diplomat's apparent suicide. Players assume the role of the diplomat's wife, and travel to different locations to uncover clues—finding hidden objects on the screen. The storyline delves into subjects such as art forgery, smuggling, kidnapping, and murder; players will view stop-motion cutscenes depicting or alluding to violence: a woman shoots a gun into the air next to a man; a dead body lies face-down on the floor, and a man's body hangs from the ceiling (the camera stops above the waist) as an onlooker observes, "The poor devil's hanged himself." The dialogue also contains references to suicide and murder (e.g., "Your husband has taken his own life," "I'll kill you," and "both murders look like suicide.").
