The eighth installment of "The Detective Kibukawa Ryosuke Case Tale" series! Embraced by an illusion, I put on a mask... A mysterious series of murders intertwine in the virtual and real worlds. 【Game System】 This is a mystery adventure game in which the player solves a series of difficult cases that occur in a fictional town called Marihama City in K Prefecture. The player controls the main character in the scenario and solves the mystery by selecting commands in the conversation and deduction parts, and by gathering information and evidence that provide clues to solving the case. The story progresses by selecting commands, so even beginners can easily play the game. 【Story】 This case is eight months after the first in the series, "The Masked Illusion Case". The story begins when Masao Ikurumi , a scenario writer, receives an invitation to participate in the beta test of a new network game, "Misty Online". "Misty Online" is Japan's first MMOADV, a groundbreaking game in which players work together with their friends to solve crimes in a world that closely resembles a real town. The player, Izuna Sagishima of the Kibukawa Detective Agency, participates in the beta test and takes on a fictional murder case, only to find that the player playing the role of the "corpse" who fell to his death from a great height does not respond at all... Reality and illusion. The present and the past. The myriad threads that are intricately and mysteriously intertwined create illusions and envelop people's hearts and minds. 【Character】 ◆Ryosuke Kibukawa (癸生川凌介) The director of the Kibukawa Detective Agency and a detective himself. However, he is quite an eccentric character, often causing trouble and confusion for those around him, though he doesn't seem to care about it at all. It’s completely unclear what he's thinking, but he has led the resolution of numerous difficult cases up to now. ◆Izuna Sagishima (白鷺洲 伊綱) A detective assistant at the Kibukawa Detective Agency. Though she is an assistant, she is exceptionally capable, and could likely solve most cases on her own. However, like her superior, she is unaware of her own quirks. She has a rather eccentric personality, sometimes clumsy, but also sharp enough to make one wonder if it's all part of a calculated act. ◆Masao Ikurumi (生王 正生) A game scenario writer. Recently, he has mostly been working on mobile app projects, including turning cases involving the Kibukawa Detective Agency into adventure games for public release. Because of this "favor," he can never quite stand up to Kibukawa or Izuna, and is always flattered by them, which leads to him being made to work for free.
