Veiled Shadows

Thirty days. A quiet mountain town. Something beneath the surface.

You’re a police intern in Hayakawa for one focused month. Mornings are routine: check in, follow up on calls, document scenes, and handle the small tasks that keep a rural place running. When your shift ends, the clock is yours to manage.

Enter Fragments of a long lost world, sealed away and hidden. Enjoy light puzzles, shifting routes, and systems that demand attention. Defeat enemies by exploiting affinities and use them to your advantage in other battles.

Unveil the past

Take on small jobs, stumble into optional moments, and explore the town and its surroundings. Use local facilities like the gym to raise your stats. Spend each day split into 3 parts: Morning, Afternoon and Night, each offers different opportunities.

Build friendships, manage a finite month

Get closer to friends, uncover their personal stories, and unlock support skills, passives, and special abilities that can swing tough encounters in your favour. Plan your days carefully. Opportunities close, some doors only open once.
