PQube has announced that they are aiming to have Root Film released in the West for the PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch on March 19th and alongside this announcement the company has also released a new trailer showing off a little bit of what to expect from the game. Root Film is based around the reboot of a mysteriously cancelled TV series “Shimane Mystery Drama Project.”
Players will take on the role 23-year-old Rintaro Yagumo as his excitement for an amazing casting opportunity is quickly curbed, when a horrible murder interrupts their location scouting process. Players will be able to gather keywords during in-game conversations using “Intuition” and then use these keywords to confront suspects in “Max Mode” in an effort to solve the mystery, though be wary, there are more sides to this story than one as a “zapping” system will allow players to see the perspective of two characters at the same time. Experiencing events from two different viewpoints is an essential tool to find out the truth about “Shimane Mystery Drama Project.”
