The story

The game follows the Special Support Section with more members and more cases to solve.
What it’s like
Warm, bright anime portraits sit over soft 3D towns, with sunlit streets, tiled rooftops and a clean, slightly futuristic city of trams and glowing gadgets, and the colour palette stays clear and inviting even when the story turns serious. Dialogue scenes play out in expressive character art with lively, chatty banter, while the orchestral-leaning JRPG score swells in quiet town moments and pushes harder in battle. Turn-based combat is brisk and readable, with flashy special moves and chained attacks rather than gore. The mood is cozy and curious, a comfortable companion for long evenings, with a steady, episodic rhythm of errands, investigations and conversations punctuated by tense, dramatic beats. Intensity is mild: fantasy action and peril with cartoonish violence, some emotional heaviness and political tension, but no graphic content. It suits players who love sprawling, character-driven stories, enjoy getting to know a large ensemble over dozens of hours, and want a warm, unhurried journey that still rewards close attention.
