Kamaitachi No Yoru - Gameplay

Gameplay

The game plays similarly to a gamebook. The player reads the text from the game screen, and makes choices which will affect the outcome of the game.

Though the concept of the game is simple, it is rather difficult and time consuming to finish the game with every single different ending. Clues are often misleading, and in scenarios where the player must point out the villain, solving the mystery is nearly impossible without fully understanding the trick used in the murder. Hints are often hidden in seemingly obscure or ridiculous statements made by Tōru and other characters.
