❤ Gameplay Overview

The core gameplay splits into two main components: investigation and Somnium exploration.

❤ Investigation

You take on the role of detective Kaname Date, freely examining crime scenes and locations. This plays out like a traditional visual novel, allowing you to interact with numerous hotspots and characters. The investigation emphasizes dialogue, character interactions, and piecing together clues to uncover the central mystery.

❤ Somnium Exploration

You enter the dreamscapes of certain characters, navigating 3D environments from a third-person perspective. Here, you must explore the dream world, interact with objects, and solve time-sensitive puzzles to uncover subconscious information relevant to the investigation. These Somnium segments add a unique twist, incorporating light puzzle-solving and time management.

❤ Puzzle-Solving and Evidence Presentation

Throughout the game, you collect evidence and information. During key moments, such as character interrogations, you must present the appropriate evidence to progress the story. This mechanic requires carefully analyzing clues and making logical inferences.

❤ The Psync Mechanic

A core mechanic is the Psync ability, which allows you to delve into the subconscious dreams of suspects and witnesses. These Somnium sequences are timed, challenging you to explore the dream world and uncover necessary information within a limited timeframe.

❤ Branching Narrative and Multiple Endings

The game features a branching narrative, with your choices and actions leading to different story paths and multiple possible endings. This encourages replayability, as you can experience various outcomes and uncover additional details about the overarching mystery.
