Process of Elimination was announced during the NISA Showcase 2022 as one of four newly announced upcoming localisations. As a mystery/detective visual novel, it’s certainly one to grab the attention of Danganronpa and Ace Attorney fans alike. What else do we already know about it?
What is Process of Elimination?
According to NISA’s summary of the title:
“The Quartering Duke, an infamous serial killer with over a hundred victims, has thrown the country into chaos with his heinous acts. To bring an end to his killing spree, the “Detective Alliance”, composed of the world’s top detectives, has gathered to uncover and subdue him.
However, in a series of unforeseen events, an aspiring yet unremarkable detective named Wato Hojo stumbles into their operations. He joins the Detective Alliance on the mysterious island of Morgue to investigate the Quartering Duke, only to make the gruesome discovery that their target lurks among them! Can these detectives prove their innocence and unveil the identity of the Quartering Duke before the case runs cold?”
Key Features
- “The Sign of the Fourteen – Team up with 13 other detectives, each with their own unique skills, tools, and personalities. Explore key locations around the island of Morgue and engage in choice-based dialogue to obtain useful evidence for each case.
- A Study in Shadow – Carry out investigations on an interactive map of the crime scene. Use your “Denouement” ability to absorb critical information, predict the future, and gather clues while piecing together the truth of each murder.
- The Island of Fear – As the secret headquarters of the Detective Alliance, the island of Morgue is host to a number of mystifying and dangerous areas. Explore a variety of vivid locales including a maze, research facility, and the Alliance’s manor for clues about the Quartering Duke.”
