Idea Factory revealed IFChronicle as a new visual-novel brand and announced its first title, ICONOLOGY, a crime-suspense adventure game developed for Nintendo Switch and PC through Steam. Gematsu reported this announcement on September 30. A specific release date has not been announced by the company.
The story centers on Haruho Tsubakiya, an art-school student who takes a role as a Special Investigator to probe her parents' unsolved murder from ten years ago. Using a device called the White Cube, she turns suspects' thoughts into cognitive paintings to examine their trauma and motives.
Player choices, interpretations of the paintings, and relationships with other investigators influence multiple narrative endings. Psychological clues form the core of the investigative gameplay mechanics, while international language support is confirmed for English, Japanese, Traditional Chinese, and Simplified Chinese.
Makoto Fukami, known for the PSYCHO-PASS anime series and the Resident Evil films Resident Evil: Vendetta and Resident Evil: Death Island, serves as the scenario writer. Teita, with credits including Fate/Grand Order and CharadeManiacs, provides the character designs for the debut title.
