Today Kadokawa Games released a new trailer of the upcoming visual novel Root Film.

The trailer showcases the main characters of the game, also providing a taste of the rich voice-over cast.

Toward the end, we get to take a look at Max Mode, that lets us confront other characters in a face-off to unveil the truth.

You can check the video out below.

 If you’re unfamiliar with the game, it’s the follow-up to Root Letter. Here’s a handy description:

Root Film is about a TV series, called “Shimane Mystery Drama Project”, which was canceled for an unknown reason 10 years ago. To reboot the project, three teams consisting of a director and an actress have been cast, including 23-year-old Rintaro Yagumo, the main character of the game.

His excitement about this amazing opportunity is quickly curbed, when a horrible murder interrupts their location scouting process. Follow him and a cast of unique and memorable characters by character designer Taro Minoboshi as they are drawn deeper into the thrilling mystery of Root Film.
