❤ Gameplay Overview

The game features a turn-based mechanic where players have a limited number of "Action Points" (APs) to spend on actions like asking questions, moving between locations, and inspecting evidence. This forces players to carefully plan their actions and prioritize which leads to pursue.

❤ Dual Perspectives

Players alternate between controlling two protagonists - a magician and a private eye - as they independently investigate the disappearance of the star magician of a traveling circus. Each character has access to different information and perspectives, requiring players to piece together the full story by switching between them.

❤ Contradiction Mechanic

Players can uncover "contradictions" in witness testimonies and other evidence by gathering conflicting information in their collection. They can then challenge characters to resolve these discrepancies, which is often vital to progressing the investigation and uncovering new leads.

❤ Nonlinear Narrative

The game features a branching, nonlinear narrative structure. Players' choices and the order in which they investigate clues and locations can significantly impact the story's progression and the information they uncover, encouraging replayability.

❤ Exploration and Character Interactions

In addition to the core investigation mechanics, players can freely explore the various locations of the circus and engage in conversations with the large cast of colorful characters. These interactions can provide valuable insights, unlock new areas, and deepen the player's understanding of the characters and their motivations.
