Root Letter

This is a visual novel in which players explore a mystery surrounding a group of friends in Japan. One of the central story elements details the suicide of a young girl; she is depicted in still images holding a blade to her wrist. Another sequence depicts a man being attacked by a crow; some still images show blood spurting from wounds or pools of blood under bodies. The game contains some suggestive material: female pole dancers in revealing outfits; a boy on top of a girl after a struggle—story text indicates that he kissed her forcibly. The words “f**k,” “sh*t,” and “a*shole” appear in the dialogue.
