What is Root Letter?
Root Letter is a brand new mystery Visual Novel adventure game from Kadokawa, and is the first title in the new Kadokawa Game Mystery series! The player must find out what happened to their old penfriend, Aya, after she vanishes in mysterious circumstances. You must journey through the past as you relive prior interactions with Aya, and the present as you investigate a town and interrogate the residents in a slick adventure game style. The Rice Exclusive Pen Pal Edition comes with the game, a premium Japanese artbook, the official soundtrack, a Minoboshi Taro Giclée Print on Hahnemuhle paper, a replica letter set, and a collector’s presentation box!
Set in Shimane prefecture – a place rich in history, culture and natural beauty – √Letter revolves around the mystery of Fumino Aya, your old high school pen friend who went missing 15 years ago.
On receiving her final letter 15 years late, in which she confesses to a murder, it’s up to you, the player, to unravel the mystery of what happened to her.
Reminiscing through previous letters from Fumino Aya, you must piece together the truth, alongside the testimonies from seven witnesses who knew her. Did she really murder someone, was she telling the truth in her letters – was she even real?
Drawing comparisons to Capcom’s Phoenix Wright and Ace Attorney series, for its investigative gameplay elements – Root Letter looks set to continue the Visual Novel genre’s increasing popularity in the West.”
