Bandai suspense adventure new work "Project:; COLD case.mirage"

　　Bandai Namco Entertainment officially released its latest PC desktop suspense adventure game "Project:; COLD case.mirage", which is now online on the Nintendo Switch and Steam platforms. As the first home console game in the "Project:; COLD" series, the game continues the plot style with the Internet and modern digital media as the core. Players will conduct in-depth investigations into a confusing fire murder through the simulated PC interface.

　　This game will friendlyly welcome players who have first contact with the series, and can easily get started even if they have not touched the previous work. Through the virtual desktop on the screen, players can use browsers, social networking websites, mobile phone simulators and artificial intelligence assistants to gradually crack the truth and regain lost memories.

The story revolves around the protagonist. One day, after he lost his memory, he suddenly met a mysterious boy named "Iori" on his personal computer. Iori said he is investigating the "Mirage Forest Fire" that happened several months ago, which caused the tragic death of five girls, and the protagonist's memory is closely related to the incident. Iori provides the protagonist with a surveillance image. It is shocking that Runa Yoshinaga, who is suspected to have died in the fire, actually died of poisoning. Behind this apparent fire accident, there is an unknown truth.

The game covers the background of the five dead, namely the girl Yoshinaga Runa who loves supernaturalism and divination, the office worker Hishishita Sukiko, who is working hard for money, the self-righteous Hanazaki Kuro and the aspiration to become a professional chess player. Each character has his own unique personality and story, which adds a sense of layering to the game.

During the investigation, players will use virtual computer operations to collect keywords with search engines, social media and personal blogs to obtain clues. At the same time, the built-in tool "Wizard: SmartPhone Emulator" allows players to remotely access girls' smartphone information during their lifetime to gain an in-depth understanding of their lives and relationships. If the investigation is deadlocked, AI assistant WizAI will provide advice when appropriate to add a sense of humor.

The game's "Wizard: Human Emulator" tool allows players to rebuild the digital personality of the dead, talk to them, and dig deeper inner secrets. In a critical conversation, presenting evidence will trigger a “deep mode” that requires careful selection of options, otherwise it may cause the game to fail.

As the plot develops, players will gradually uncover the chaotic messages, lost memories and true identities buried in computer information, and finally solve the mystery of this suspense story. The Nintendo Switch version of "Project:; COLD case.mirage" supports three play modes, including TV mode, desktop mode and handheld mode. In TV mode, players can connect the mouse through the USB interface to simulate a real computer operation experience.

This game has been officially launched on the Nintendo Switch and Steam platforms. Players who like suspense reasoning and psychological elements may wish to experience this digital journey for themselves and explore the truth and secrets hidden deep in their memory.
