Our take on PENTALOOP -ペンタループ-
Its defining structure is a one-time, four-player investigation where the group examines a corpse, votes repeatedly, and may include the murderer among its participants.
What is PENTALOOP -ペンタループ-?
PENTALOOP is a digital murder mystery for four players.
Each participant selects a character, and the characters awaken in a room containing a corpse. The group investigates the situation and votes repeatedly while working toward an ending. A murderer may be among the players. No game master or preparation is required. The game uses only a mouse and takes 1–2 hours to play. All four players must own the game and communicate through Discord or another communication tool.
