Master Detective Archives: RAIN CODE – While Awaiting Yuma Novel Releasing in Japan Next Week

Famitsu Bunko has announced that the Master Detective Archives: RAIN CODE novel, Master Detective Archives: RAIN CODE – While Awaiting Yuma, will launch in Japan on August 30, 2023. There is no word on a potential Western release.

Written by Keishi Ayasato and illustrated by Akira Hanazawa, this book will seemingly focus on members of the cast aside from Yuma, particularly those part of the World Detective Organization.

You can view the novel’s official cover below:

Master Detective Archives: RAIN CODE has players control an amnesiac detective who is followed by a Shinigami and solves 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.
