Studio OZON, a company focused on creating and assisting in the creation of murder-mystery games, books, and other projects, announced their involvement in the creation of a Steins;Gate murder-mystery project on December 14, 2021.
The announcement notes that three other parties—the board-game producer and café-holder Joldeeno, the murder-mystery game creator @Junkie_werewolf, and the murder-mystery game creator group Office KUMOKANA—will also be involved in the development of this project.
Specific details on this project are not yet available; notably, however, similar projects connected to Higurashi: When They Cry and Umineko: When They Cry were produced by Studio OZON and Joldeeno earlier this year. These projects took the form of role-playing games played in person, wherein players assumed the roles of the games’ characters and attempted to reason out answers to overarching mysteries presented through the given story script.
We will keep you updated as more information arises on this project and other SciADV news.
