Ikamono Tantei - Ikatan — About this game
Ikamono Tantei: IKATAN follows amateur detective Nikki and junior scenario writer Kai through dubious, often ridiculous cases. Dialogue supplies highlighted keywords to collect and organize for a deduction. Read the whole exchange before choosing a connection: a strange phrase can matter more than an apparently dramatic claim. Cases have time pressure, so begin by understanding the current question and consult the collected terms instead of guessing through every option. The humor and investigation work together rather than presenting a purely passive script.
