Otome visual novel London Detective Mysteria coming west for PS Vita, PC this Fall

XSEED Games is bringing Karin Entertainment-developed otome visual novel London Detective Mysteria to North America and Europe for PS Vita and PC as a digital-only title this fall, the company announced.

London Detective Mysteria was originally released as Eikoku Tantei Mysteria for PSP in 2013 in Japan, followed by an enhanced PS Vita version called Eikoku Tantei Mysteria: The Crown in 2016.

Here is an overview of the game, via XSEED Games:

Eschew the frivolities of 19th century London’s high society and instead delve into the curiosities that lie hidden in London’s darkest corners in London Detective Mysteria. Playing as the heiress of House Whiteley, players will name their own Lady Whiteley as they investigate mysteries of London and interact with personalities inspired by famous fictional characters including Detective Holmes, Jack the Ripper, and more. Take full control over the experience by adjusting text speed or even the individual speaking volumes of individual characters and their original Japanese voices. Players must choose their words carefully as they interact with other characters, as decisions made throughout the story will not only affect special rewards but will also shape whether Lady Whiteley finds love or something more sinister in the shadows of 19th century London.

What encounters are in store? Earn, save, and marry. A happy end awaits you ♪

Cast:

There are two kinds of people: the rulers and the ruled. The Heights are a gorgeous utopia. The Depths, a filthy industrial wasteland. Our heroine, raised in the Heights, has nothing but contempt for those below. Now an observation mission requires her to descend into that world, and the gears of fate have begun to turn.

Cyrus, the Steam Prison heroine, can be renamed by the player.

The voice acting has versions of spoken lines allowing for either option (default name or custom).

Three branching paths with two love interests per path and numerous possible endings.

One of the three paths, known as the “Punishment Route,” forces Cyrus to face an enormous amount of loss and misery, similar to Katniss Everdeen from the Hunger Games.

Characters who show up briefly in one part of the story become pivotal in others, and even brief appearances can add more depth to their character.

Steam Prison utilizes a point system, which determines the route and endings you’ll trigger. However, it’s all conversation-based, not action-choice based.

Vocal cast features seiyuu from OZMAFIA, Fashioning Little Miss Lonesome, Bokuten, Hadaka Shitsuji, Touken Ranbu, and One Punch Man.

There are no in-story sex scenes, but there are frank discussions about topics such as sex, love, sexual and domestic violence, murder, torture, and drug dependence.
