This is a visual novel in which players explore a murder mystery in modern-day Japan. Players explore locations, collect evidence and testimonies, and make choices affecting the story's outcome. As players progress, they uncover various story elements, including flashbacks of a character's suicide--depicted in still images with a blade to a character's wrist and blood splatter on the ground. Other sequences depict additional instances of violence and blood: a man attacked by a crow; a character attacking with a knife; a ghostly figure with large bloodstains on his shirt. The game contains some suggestive material: a silhouette of female pole dancers in a club; a boy on top of a girl after a struggle—story text indicates that he kissed her forcibly.
