A demonic entity has trapped you in an endless cycle. Its motives and goals remain a mystery — for now. But what first appears as a cruel curse, an eternal prison, slowly reveals itself as a rare and unexpected gift. Because when time is no longer a limit, you gain the chance to examine every detail with absolute precision.
Your primary tool is a detailed dossier on every citizen of the city. Don't rely on memory alone: meticulously record confirmed facts, daily routines, and each resident's true feelings toward one another.
Every word you speak unlocks a new corridor of possibilities. Explore every dialogue with care: test each line, follow every branching path, and uncover hidden outcomes in your interactions with the characters.
All memories of the past have been erased. Now you can only recover them piece by piece, slowly reclaiming your lost history. Without knowing who you truly are, you cannot genuinely help those around you. Search for everything that might restore the memories of your childhood and youth. Because many events in the present have roots in the past, and only by understanding the origins can you see the true nature of what is happening.
The gameplay revolves around a unique time-loop mechanic. Each day is divided into time segments from morning to night, and within each segment you can only perform a limited number of actions. The residents follow their own schedules, which means time is your most valuable resource. Uncover information about suspects, sacrifice one lead for another, and plan every step carefully. Explore the streets, gather evidence, and discover new facts — then apply your knowledge in the next cycles of your investigation.
