Master Detective Archives: Rain Code Reveals New English Screenshots

During GDC 2023, Spike Chunsoft revealed new information and screenshots for their upcoming mystery adventure Master Detective Archives: Rain Code. Japanese outlet 4Gamer has shared official English screenshots, though the information is expectedly in Japanese.

Considering Spike Chunsoft’s usual timeliness and consistency with translating news, we’ll hold off on detailing the newly introduced modes and mechanics until they do that, so we can avoid potentially erroneously mistranslating specific terms. However, for now, you can check out the new screenshots.

Master Detective Archives: Rain Code has players control an amnesiac detective who is followed by a Shinigami and solve cases by examining crime scenes and evidence. The Shinigami will create a realm connecting the crime scene to the truth. Mystery Phantoms will try to impede your progress, and defeating them by utilizing the truth is the only way to go.

The gameplay comprises exploration throughout the Kanai Ward, which is entirely 3D. Players will have to examine several crime scenes and other locations alongside interviewing involved parties. Hidden clues are emphasized as being hidden via specific camera angles.
