Hayarigami series

**Hayarigami 2, Metropolitan Police Department Mysterious Case Files** (流行り神2 警視庁怪異事件ファイル, *Hayarigami 2 Keishichō kaii jiken fairu*, lit. *"*Trendy God 2*"*)

## **Plot**

*The game takes place one year after the events of Hayarigami. One day, Junya Kazami bumps into Yukino Kasuga, an Old Flame of his from his younger days in high school. She explained that she went to the TMPD building to claim the remains of her deceased husband. When he and Kogure offer Kasuga a ride to her house, she narrated how her husband's suicide was related to his company going bust recently. Kazami decides to investigate the case again in his capacity as a Historical Archives Section detective and determine if he did die under a suicide or not. Meanwhile, the suicide of a female high school student was discovered early in the morning...*

## **Gameplay**

*To make progress in a case, the game calls for the use of "Inference Logic", a relationship chart where players determine the relationship between the suspect/s, witness/es and persons of interest over a case. Completing the chart will yield more information to help a player progress. "Self-Question" relates to how the case progresses if Kazami is sure that it can be explained by science or by paranormal means. "Courage Points" are used during certain question scenarios where its use can determine the progress of a case. Running out of them will impede your progress in making a choice that has a point embedded, so be very careful with them.*
