Root Film
Visual Novels Coming in 2020
Root Film is the sequel to Root Letter, the first game in the Kadokawa Games Mystery series released in 2016. Both are investigative murder mystery style games ala the Phoenix Wright games, except more serious and less irreverent.
Root Film looks to take things in a darker direction than its predecessor. It tells the story of Rintaro Yagumo as he and a colorful cast of characters attempt to reboot a TV series known as Shimane Mystery Drama Project, which was canceled 10 years prior for unknown reasons.
As Rintaro and company are scouting a location for the show, things take a turn for the morbid when the body of a gruesome murder victim is discovered.
Root Film looks like it will be an intriguing mystery with a mature edge, and will be perfect for anyone looking for a more adult kind of mystery.
Twinfinite recently spoke to the president of Kadokawa Games, Yoshimi Yasuda, regarding Root film. You can read the full interview here.
