auto_stories OVERVIEW
A brand-new mystery adventure game, with both story and script written by Rika Suzuki, known for her brilliant work on Another Code/Trace Memory and Hotel Dusk: Room 215. It also features character design by Kohske, author/illustrator of GANGSTA., and music by Monster Hunter composer, Yuko Komiyama, and Tsukasa Masuko, composer for the Megami Tensei series. Directed and produced by Shinsuke Umeda (IzanagiGames).
Game features:
- Explore freely within an old castle rendered in 3D
- Use reasoning and deduction to solve clues via the Word Cloud System
- Use memories to expose the truth via each Auction
In the exploration phase, you will search rooms and floors, and talk to other participants, revealing trauma and lies that will lead you to the truth each one keeps hidden.
Information you learn here will be stored in your Word Cloud, and can then be used to solve mysteries during each auction!
But in this place, the auction exhibits aren't bid on with money, but with memories.
Auction participants try to win their bids by offering their own memories, using a memory reconstruction device known as EPO.
But memories burdened by secrets or trauma can change completely, becoming distorted and incorrect.
If the participants offer incomplete memories, their auction bids will fail.
Noah must become their supporter, fixing each target's memory to ensure they are correct.
If the auction is a success, the truth will be revealed—unleashing the dramatic story behind each ill-fated auction exhibit.
Story:
1981, Somewhere in Europe.
Eighteen-year-old Noah is haunted by the memory of his mother abandoning him as a child.
He lives with his father Leonard, a failed writer obsessed with collecting items related to “Dictator X.”
Noah wishes he would stop, but Leonard refuses to give up his strange obsession, even as they struggle financially.
One day, an auction invitation arrives, addressed to Leonard. Ignoring Noah’s protests, Leonard sets off for the old castle where the auction is to be held, promising to tell Noah everything once he returns.
But Leonard never comes home. With no way to contact him, Noah heads to the castle himself, determined to bring him home—only to witness something shocking.
Trapped inside the castle with the other guests, Noah decided to accept the Auctioneer's invitation, and take part in the auction himself.
