Set against the backdrop of South Korea in the year 2000, the mystery visual novel game Hirugao is scheduled to launch on October 27.

This title is a suspense thriller that follows a serial murder case set in South Korea in 2000. The story unfolds by examining the case from the perspectives of different characters, including a woman, a man, and a detective, to uncover the truth. Choices branch out the narrative, and a wrong decision can lead straight to a game over.

The story kicks off when a body is discovered in a South Korean nightlife district. The woman grows suspicious based on the man's curfew time and the smell of cigarettes, and the narratives intertwine as the man and a detective tracking the culprit cross paths. Players must check the events and information unfolding from each character's viewpoint, synthesizing clues revealed from different perspectives to approach the truth of the serial murders.

The game was developed under the influence of 1990s visual novels like Kamaitachi no Yoru. It recreates the atmosphere of mystery games from that era through a visual composition combining photorealistic backgrounds with character silhouettes, encouraging replayability with one true ending and 10 bad endings. The release date is October 27, and the platform is PC (Steam). It supports Korean, Japanese, English, and Chinese (Simplified and Traditional).

Meanwhile, a free demo allowing players to experience everything from the prologue up to Chapter 2 is currently available on Steam, and participation in Steam Next Fest has also been announced.
