THE MAGISTRATE’S OFFICE
Detective. Lawyer. Jury. Judge. The Magistrate of Nakamachi is responsible for the well-being of everyone under his jurisdiction—and for the lives of those who violate the law. Fortunately, the magistrate doesn’t work alone. His helpers’ responsibilities include everything from police patrols to firefighting to paperwork. Mountains and mountains of paperwork.
- Shimei Ooka: The newly-appointed Magistrate of Nakamachi, and the game’s main protagonist. A scholar and a bookworm, Shimei knows his business, but will he be able to live up to his father’s legacy as magistrate?
- Rimu Hiraga: The tomboy inventor of the century! Rimu joined the Nakamachi magistrate’s office as a junior officer, along with her childhood friend and stalwart companion Shimei. Her best talents, though, lean more to the mechanical.
- Sakura Toyama: The daughter of the Magistrate of Kitamachi. Brilliant, but headstrong; capable, but intensely jealous of the magistrate’s office that should have been hers…
- Koume Kawai: A mysterious girl held in the magistrate’s office jail in connection with a brutal murder. Kind, sweet, and clever—but what is she hiding…?
THE SHINSENGUMI
A band of vigilante police, outside of the direct control of the Shogunate—and, by extension, the magistrate—yet always willing to cooperate closely for the safety of the city. Their methods can be tough, but they’re scarily effective. Together with the more transparent and accountable activities of the magistrate’s office, these battle-hardened samurai are indispensable to the peace.
- Takeru Kondo: The commander of the Shinsengumi. As long as the magistrate is still a rookie, Kondo will remain the real power behind the Nakamachi magistrate’s office, but he’s always happy to educate the fledgling officials under his wing.
- Yamanami Ayaka: Vice-commander of the Shinsengumi. Yamanami is beautiful, charming, and extremely attentive to detail. She acts like a mother-figure to the whole Shinsengumi, keeping the dormitory clean and the day-to-day business running smoothly.
- Shino Okita: A tight-lipped and laconic ace swordswoman. Absolutely terrifying in a fight, Okita is the perfect enforcer. Underneath the surface, though, could she have a softer side too…?
- Toshikaze Hijikata: Childhood friend to Rimu and Shimei, and a highly-trusted officer in the Shinsengumi. Sloppy as he is in his private life, he’s matured into an extremely reliable man.
GAME SYSTEMS
Enjoy daily life in Oukacho, interacting with the townspeople, and building relationships with your friends and coworkers—until an incident disturbs the peace! Interview witnesses and suspects to collect information and build dossiers, investigate the crime scene for material evidence, and explore the town in pursuit of more clues. When you need a breather, explore your dormitory to get to know your friends better! Once your investigation is complete, hold a hearing with your suspects and key persons of interest to narrow down the possibilities and uncover the truth behind the lies!
But don’t forget: some mysteries are longer-lived and deeper-rooted than any one case. As the magistrate of Nakamachi, will you have the resolve to do what it takes to uncover the conspiracies at the heart of your city and your life?

Sunlight hasn’t reached here since the last great war, and the shadows teem with vicious criminals.
With evil threatening on every side, the National Police Agency is a stronghold of justice.
Detective Ruka Hiryu belongs to the 13th Division—nicknamed the Sideliners, and treated like shit by the rest of the force.
Absent any major incidents to keep him distracted, Ruka has been investigating the sealed Cult Massacre case in secret.
Things change when the 13th picks up two new members.
The agency is shaken with unreliable rumors about the semi-mythical Shining Union, and as suspicions and conjecture fly like bullets, will Ruka, the 13th, and the NPA go unscathed?

Tamayura Mirai
There is a girl, searching for something she lost…
In the town of Fukano, the air smells otherworldly. Long ago, humans and other spirits—the sorts of creatures we called [i]youkai[/i]—lived together on this enchanted soil. Even now Fukano is still full of strange stories, of mystical entities and mysterious forces.
Yukina Kamikake has come back to this town with a friend in tow.
In Fukano she meets a boy who calls himself a sorcerer. That’s me!
My name is Mutsuki Yohane, and I’ve inherited the bloodline of the sorcerers who long ago moved to Fukano from far away—but I’m not the only person of interest in town.
Midari Suishouseki is something other than human.
She’s caught the worst thing that can afflict a succubus: a case of love…
Hanako Nekotengu was once a servant of a higher water spirit.
Now she’s an urban legend at the local school, where she knows every piece of gossip that goes down!
Shiro Kohaku is always on my side.
She doesn’t know a thing about magic or monsters, but she’s like an older sister to me.
A sorcerer’s job is to understand the inexplicable incidents non-human creatures cause, and help them live in harmony with their human neighbors.
But Yukina Kamikake has more magic than me, and was born with the power to see the spirit world.
And she’s looking for something she lost.
The time I spend dealing with her will lead me back to the incident that got me involved in all of this.
It’s a short summer and a long one too; a story of humans, spirits, and sorcerers… A fairytale.
