Wichtige Informationen
Idea Factory hat IFChronicle angekündigt, eine brandneue Visual-Novel-Marke, zusammen mit dem Debütspiel, dem Krimi- und Thrillertitel ICONOLOGY. Das Spiel soll nach einem ersten Bericht von Gematsu am 30. September für Nintendo Switch und PC via Steam erscheinen. Ein genauer Veröffentlichungstermin wurde vom Unternehmen noch nicht bestätigt.
The story follows art student Haruho Tsubakiya, whose parents were killed in an unsolved crime a decade ago. Recruited as a special investigator due to her ability to decipher cognitive paintings, she uses a device called White Cube to project suspects' thoughts as visual images in order to investigate their motives and traumas. The narrative features multiple endings shaped by player choices, relationships with fellow investigators, and the interpretation of the cognitive paintings.
The production features experienced creative talent, with a script written by Makoto Fukami, known for the anime series Psycho-Pass and the films Resident Evil: Vendetta and Resident Evil: Death Island. Character design is handled by Teita, who has previously worked on Fate/Grand Order and CharadeManiacs. At launch, the game will support English, Japanese, Traditional Chinese, and Simplified Chinese.
