Our take on Jisei
Rather than centering a murder mystery on deduction alone, Jisei gives its accused protagonist psychic abilities. Those powers do not replace evidence: the investigation still calls for clues and logical reasoning to prove innocence.
What is Jisei?
Jisei is a supernatural murder mystery told as a visual novel and adventure game.
A homeless teenager with no name travels between cities and is accused of killing a woman he has never met. He investigates to clear his name and identify the real killer, while a strange voice in his head warns him to be careful. The investigation involves searching for clues and questioning witnesses. Psychic abilities play a part, but the case still requires facts and reasoning to establish innocence. The story includes depictions of crime scenes and some blood.
