Our take on Master Detective Archives: RAIN CODE Plus
Each case shifts from clue gathering in Kanai Ward into a physical Mystery Labyrinth, where evidence becomes the means of navigating traps and confronting a Mystery Phantom.
What is Master Detective Archives: RAIN CODE Plus?
Yuma, a detective trainee with no memories, investigates mysteries in Kanai Ward alongside Shinigami, a spirit attached to him.
Players explore the city, question residents, examine crime scenes, and collect Solution Keys. Detectives accompanying Yuma use special abilities such as seeing past events or changing appearances to reveal clues and testimony. Each case then leads into a Mystery Labyrinth, where its mysteries become traps and mechanisms. Collected evidence supports fast-paced Reasoning Death Matches against Mystery Phantoms, using a Solution Blade to cut through obstacles. The game also includes requests, substories, hidden Memory Shards, five additional detective-focused substories, 4K compatibility, improved performance, and a gallery for cinematics and background music.
