Mystery

Root Film burrows into the mystery of its anthology structure, letting you solve crimes from the perspectives of its compelling cast. The "Intuition" mechanic, which lets you gather clues from other characters' thoughts, is a standout feature, adding a layer of depth to the investigation. Its distinct visual style and compelling narrative hooks will keep you invested as you unravel the secrets of Shimane Prefecture.
The video artist Rintaro Yakumo is participating in a new TV project. Set in the Shimane Prefecture, it's a mystery drama production that also serves as a PR for tourism. The pilot version was filmed 10 years ago and suspended for unknown reasons. Now three filmmakers are competing to see who will be able to finish the production once and for all. Yakumo finds out that he is competing against two famous directors and heads over with his staff, ready to start recording when a mysterious murder occurs.
