YOU'VE BEEN WARNED

The game starts with a woman receiving a phone call from the local police station. This woman is Sato, a "detective" who specializes in helping out kids who are struggling with bullying at school. (Which earned her the nickname: "The Bully Detective"). She received a call from her co-worker Yamada who wants her to come to the station as there was a recent incident that they need help investigating. And they believe she is the best fit for the job. After agreeing to come, Sato ends the phone call and heads off to the police station.

After arriving at the police station, Yamada tells Sato about three junior high-school students that recently went missing. While it's unknown what happened to them, Yamada claims that their disappearance was not because of kidnapping. However, one of the parents gave them a tip, claiming that the three of them were planning to hang with each other on the day they disappeared. To help out, Officer Funahashi will be driving Sato around town in order to gather information on how the children disappeared, and where could they have gone. And while he may be a "bad mouth", Sato shouldn't let his behavior get the better of her. Yamada let's Sato know that he's currently on break, and to go to the back to fetch him.

**(\*Heads up: Officer Yamada will offer save points throughout the game. If at any point you want to save the game, speak to him, and tell him you want to save. He will always be standing behind the front desk.\*)**

After their conversation, Sato goes outside to talk to Funahashi. After starling him, the two of them have a small chat on what happened to the missing kids. During their conversation, Officer Funahashi gives Sato another tip on what lead to their disappearance. According to a friend of one of the missing children, he saw one of them talking through a private online chat with the other missing children. And that the kid he's referring to is a girl named Mizuki. He suggests that they should go there first. And while he doesn't believe Sato will do any good with the investigation, he's willing to give her a chance. After that, the two of them head to the police car and drive off to Mizuki's house.

After arriving at Mizuki's house, Sato goes over to the house and rings the doorbell. Mizuki's mother comes out, but she is nowhere welcoming towards Sato. She tells her to go away as she is upset with the fact Mizuki is missing and that Sato isn't even the police. Because of this, Sato has to go back and get Officer Funahashi to help her, he admits that he is a bit hesitant to do so, but after Sato mentions that Mizuki's mother won't talk unless a police officer is with her, Funahashi finally agrees. But when they try again to talk to Mizuki's mother, she still refuses to let them come inside to investigate. Since there isn't anything that could be done at the moment, Officer Funahashi claims that they should head over to another missing kid's house: Akiko.

If Sato decides to explore around the area for a bit, they'll notice another house with a kid outside holding a red pinwheel and wearing a theater mask. Upon talking to him, he complains that his pinwheel isn't spinning no matter how many times he turns it. When Sato asks why he is wearing the theater mask, the kid explains that he and his family rely on wearing face masks, but they ran out, so they have to use what they have. He then requests Sato to help find some for him and his family.

**(\*Note: The task mentioned above is optional\*)**

Along with that, if Sato explores the backyard of Mizuki's house, they will discover a dog lying on the ground. Despite being alive, it is very exhausted. Sato presumes that it needs some food.

Because nothing could be accomplished at the moment, Sato and Officer Funahashi can either head back to the police station or head off to Akiko's house. If they decide to go back to the police station, they will notice a man standing in front of a vending machine. The man wants some beer, but most stores around the area closed early, therefore he is unable to get some at the store or the vending machine. He tells Sato that if they want him to leave, give him some beer to drink.

**(\*The man will be standing in front of the vending machine the next time the player heads back to the police station. Along with that, his task is optional.\*)**

If they decide to go to Akiko's house, Sato will start walking on the dirtied path leading to the house. Upon walking on the path, Sato finds a newspaper article lying on the ground, it reads:

"Could it be domestic abuse!? A death of a middle schooler in town.
On September 14th, Takumi Sato (12) was found dead in Nagoya City, Aichi Prefecture.
With numerous wounds on his body, police suspects his parent, a single mother, might have been the culprit."
........................

As she continues walking, she'll notice a path on the left that leads to an altar with Jizō statues on it. If Sato goes up to it, she'll point out that the altar wants her to offer it something. But since she has nothing to offer, the only she can do is continue walking along the dirtied path. Eventually, she comes across Akiko's house, but when Sato knocks on the door, no one answers. So, she decides to look around the property to see if someone is home. She finds an old lady in the backyard working in the garden. Sato tells the old lady that she is here to investigate the disappearance of Akiko and asks her if she can investigate the house for clues. The old lady tells Sato she can look as much as she wants, and she even tells Sato that Akiko has been acting weird lately and wishes her the best of luck in finding Akiko.

Sato then heads back to the front of the house and goes inside to investigate the place. However, the only place she can investigate at the moment is the kitchen, as some of the doors can't be opened, some are locked, and even heading upstairs will not work since it's blocked off with a bunch of cardboard boxes. However, the door to Akiko's room is the only other room Sato can investigate in, but the door is locked. So, Sato heads back to the garden and asks the grandmother if she has or knows where the key to Akiko's room would be. She claims she doesn't know where it is, but she does remember seeing a key somewhere around the property but doesn't remember where. Sato can find the key to Akiko's room behind the gardening shed. After that, Sato will head back inside the house.

Using the key to open up the door, Sato will find a key to the storage shed lying on the ground, a radio on a study desk that is playing static, and a school bag lying on a tatami that is covered in graffiti. However, after looking at the school bag, Sato will hear the sounds of a gurgled cry coming from somewhere inside the house. But she is unable to find the source of the cry, but after investigating for a little bit, the telephone will ring. Sato picks it up, and she hears a faint singing coming from the other end of the line. But the line disconnects before she can identify who it was. Sato then decides to head back out to investigate, but she notices a little girl (who is the younger sister of Akiko), is now sitting on the stairs. Sato tries to talk with her, but she is reluctant to speak. She then notices the packet of dog food that she is holding and asks why she has that. But the little girl doesn't say anything to her. Sato is confused why she is behaving like this since she doesn't seem scared. But since there is nothing, she can offer or to make her say anything else, Sato then heads back outside to the garden to investigate the garden shed. From there, she can find a scythe, (which is optional to grab), and a Omamori that belongs to Mizuki lying on the ground inside the shed. Knowing this, Sato believes she can give it to Mizuki's mother so she can let them inside the house to investigate. Sato can then tell Officer Funahashi that they can head back to Mizuki's house to investigate.

Upon arriving at Mizuki's place, they present Mizuki's mother with the charm that Sato found. Now fully convinced they are trustworthy; Mizuki's mother allows Sato to come inside to investigate the place. Sato heads to Mizuki's room first, and notices that everything seems normal. She sees a picture hanging on a shelf, along with her computer. However, Sato cannot access the computer without a password. Sato then takes a closer look at the picture, and notices that the picture is that of Mizuki and her boyfriend Seiichiro with the two-looking happy with one another. However, after looking at it, she hears the same gurgled cry coming from somewhere inside the house. Sato will discover that the source is coming from a radio that is hanging on top of the door frame. After turning it off, Sato can then ask Mizuki's mother if she could give her the password to the computer. Unfortunately, Mizuki's mother can't remember it, thus leading Sato to find the password herself. She then heads upstairs to Mizuki's mother's room to investigate. In the room, she finds a box of masks, located next to the bed (Which is optional for the player to pick up or not). And a note that Mizuki wrote regarding Seiichiro, located on the desk. It reads:

I regret dating Seiichiro-Kun.
It's embarrassing to tell everyone.
Seiichiro-Kun doesn't have the money or the brain.
You can't do sports, right?.
I don't need you in my life.
My mom says she should break up with you."
- Mizuki

After Sato finishes reading the note, Mizuki's mother barges in, angry that Sato was snooping around her room. Luckily, she calms down and gives Sato another hint on where the kids might be. She claims that Mizuki and her friends have been hanging out a lot recently and suggests looking at Kanae's house as that is the last place Mizuki was last heard at. With that information in mind, Sato and Officer Funahashi will head off to Kanae's house.

Upon arriving at Kanae's house, Sato greets a household worker who is pulling out the weeds in front of a house. He tells Sato that he wants to get the job done as soon as possible. Because he is slow at doing most of these things, he is willing to give us an item in return if we can find something for him to use.

**(\*Note: The task mentioned above is optional\*)**

Since Sato has nothing to give to the worker, she decides to go around the property to investigate. She tries to see if the small house where the worker is trimming the weeds is Kanae's house, but it is the wrong house. So, she instead walks up a small, dirtied path that is blocked off to see if she can find the place. Sato then notices another path on the side that leads up to Kanae's house, so she walks up the stairs and knocks on the front door. But to her dismay, no one is home. Sato goes back down the stairs and notices a man who had just pulled into the driveway. Turns out this man is Kanae's father. Sato explains to him that she is here to investigate about his daughter's disappearance and asks him if he may have any information about where she might be. He claims he doesn't but allows Sato to come inside the house to investigate.

Upon entering the house, Sato can head to the living room and pick up some snacks laying on the small table. Along with that, Sato can find another newspaper article along with another radio on the kitchen table. It reads:

"It was suicide! The single mother grieves.
A police investigation revealed that the cause of death of Takumi Sato (12) found in Nagoya City, Aichi prefecture, on September 14th, was, in fact, a suicide.
The mother, who has been working hard as a single mother, wept in tears."
........................

Sato then goes upstairs to see what else she can find in the house. She goes into Kanae's room and notices that the desk drawer in her room seems to be locked. So, Sato decides to ask her father if he has the key to the drawer. He claims he doesn't, but he does tell Sato that Kanae has the tendency to hide items behind furniture when she was little. While he doesn't know if she still does that, but it at least gives Sato a clue to where the key would be. She finds the key behind a potted plant that is close to the closet door (near the TV). But upon grabbing it, Sato finds out that Kanae's father suddenly disappeared! And the radio starts to play the same gurgled cry from earlier. After turning off the radio, Sato goes to the spot where Kanae's father was standing at, but the only thing left is a beer can that is left lying on the floor in the exact spot where he was before. (Sato can choose whether or not to grab it). Sato then decides to head back upstairs to Kanae's room. But she then notices that Kanae's father is now standing in front of a wall next to the stairs, while muttering something. Sato is confused on what he is saying, but she decides to continue upstairs without questioning him. Upon opening the drawer, she finds a diary inside the drawer and decides to read it. The seven-page diary reads as follows:

Upon learning this, Sato opens up the pillow on the bed and finds the key. Since there isn't anything else that could be done at the moment, Sato leaves the house and goes back to Officer Funahashi (who luckily travelled up the steps to the house) to tell him where they should go next.

If Sato decides to go back to Akiko's house, she will go back inside the house and give the little girl the snacks in trade for the dog food. Before she heads back out, Sato asks the little girl about her grandmother (the old lady in the back). As she notices she isn't there anymore, to which the girl responds back with confusion, and claims she doesn't have a grandmother. Upon realizing this, Sato hears the sound of a demonic laughter, and the loud slamming of the kitchen door. But upon investigating the kitchen, there is nothing there. Ignoring it, Sato decides to head back to Mizuki's house.

Since Sato has some dog treats, she can head to the back of the house and give the dog some food. After feeding it, the dog gets up and walks to a corner of the house, where the dog begins to dig up something from the ground. Turns out, the dog had dug up a small wooden chest from the ground. And unexpectedly, the dog turns to Sato and thanks her (in human speech) for the food before quickly running off! If Sato has already obtained the key from Kanae's pillowcase, she can open up the chest, revealing a piece of paper with the password to Mizuki's computer. Sato will then head back inside Mizuki's house and investigate through her computer to see if she can find anything suspicious on there. She can check her emails and private chats. Upon reading the emails, Sato finds one that reads:

"I heard you broke up with your boyfriend, are you okay?"
"I remember you would tell me how much you love him.""I'm a little worried (' `;)""Talk to me anytime! I would gladly help you out!"

Reading the private chat, Sato will discover the following conversation:

Akiko: "I know."
Kanae: "That park, right?"Akiko: "Don't be late."

Now knowing where the girls might be, Sato can relay that information to Officer Funahashi, and tell him what they should do next. Upon this point, it is up to the player to decide on the game's outcome.

## Endings

### Bad Ending

If Sato tells Officer Funahashi that they should head to the park, but she didn't obtain the three pinwheels and place them within the altar near Akiko's house. Things will immediately start to go strange as soon as they arrive at the park.

After walking near the playground, the atmosphere will immediately become dark, and she will hear a loud hissing noise, along with the sound of a loud wailing from someone nearby. When Sato turns around, she notices that Officer Funahashi is no longer there, and a silhouette of a girl is now following her! However, the figure will maintain a safe distance from her and will move back if Sato tries to get a closer look at her. Along with that, she notices another kid is watching her on top of the playground's castle. No longer feeling safe, Sato starts to walk upon the sidewalk that leads to a pier. Sato starts walking on the pier, but after some time, she notices another silhouette of a kid along the path, and she quickly charges at her while screaming at Sato. Unfortunately, upon reaching the end of the pier, Sato discovers the unfortunate fate of the three girls. The trio decided to take their own lives by drowning in the pond due to the massive amount of misfortune they had been enduring in their lives. Deeply saddened by this, Sato turns around and gets jump scared and pushed into the water by a mysterious figure. Luckily, Officer Funahashi rushes over to the pier and was able to quickly pull Sato out of the water before she drowned.

Sato becomes depressed over the fact that she couldn't save the three girls from taking her own lives. It is revealed that her son, Takumi (who was mentioned in the newspapers) had taken his life years prior and is upset that history is repeating itself once more. After locking herself in her house for a week, resenting herself for not being able to do more to help, she thinks more about her experience again about losing both her son and the three girls. She claims that Takumi's suicide is what made her to what she is today, "a bully detective". And regardless of how much pain she has to endure because of the incident, she will still continue to push forward to help others from going down the same path that her son and the three girls did.

### Good Ending

To get the good ending, the player is required to complete three side quests within the game.

* At Mizuki's house, there is a boy standing by an adjacent house, wearing a stage play mask and holding a red pinwheel. He asks her to find some masks for him and his family. The masks are inside Mizuki's house, in a box next to Mizuki's mothers' bed. After obtaining the box, give it to the kid who will happily take it. As a reward, he will give Sato the red pinwheel.
* At Kanae's house, a household worker is seen removing some weeds at a nearby household. He is struggling to get the job done quickly and requests Sato to find something to make the job easier. Sato can obtain a scythe in the shed at Akiko's house (the same place where the Omamori was found). After giving the tool, the worker will thank Sato and reward us with the green pinwheel.
* At the police station, a man wants some beer, but most stores have already closed by now, and the vending machine doesn't have anything. If Sato and the other officers want him to go, he requests them to find him beer. Sato can obtain a beer can at Kanae's house. After finding the key to the desk drawer, Kanae's father will not be in his usual spot, and the beer he was drinking will be on the ground. After giving it to him, the man celebrates and thanks us by giving us the blue pinwheel.

After obtaining the three pinwheels, Sato will then have to place them on the altar by Akiko's house. (Walk along the dirtied path for a bit and take a left).

If Sato successfully obtained all three pinwheels and placed them at the altar before telling Officer Funahashi that they should head to the park. Things won't be so strange when she arrives at the park. When Sato starts looking around the playground, everything seems normal. She continues her investigation by walking on the sidewalk that leads to the pier. Upon reaching the end of the pier, she finds the missing three girls all sitting together with a mysterious black figure. Sato is able to stop the trio from taking their own lives that night and get them back home safe and sound.

In the epilogue, it is revealed what happened to the three girls.

* **Akiko** has been dealing with a severe amount of bullying at school. After Sato calls both the school and the parents about the bullying, the school is trying to put an end to it. However, Sato also called "189" to report child neglect due to the household's condition and the frequent absence of Akiko's parents. Akiko and her younger sister are in temporary custody, with Akiko not expressing too much concern, with high hopes that things will get better for her and her sister in the future.
* **Kanae's** parents have decided to file a divorce, with Kanae now living with her mother for now on. She plans to visit her father every now and then.
* As for **Mizuki**, she and her ex-boyfriend Seiichiro decided to get back together. It turns out the letter Sato found on Mizuki's mothers' desk was forged by her in order to get them to break up as she didn't think they were a good match. Luckily after spending time with each other more, Sato believes that Mizuki's mother will warm to Seiichiro in no time.

Sato then reflects on the time in which she sadly lost her son, Takumi, (The boy who was mentioned in the newspaper), to suicide. And while she couldn't save her son, she was happy to find the three girls safe and sound. Even though Takumi is no longer with her anymore, Sato believes deep down that he is still watching over her and staying with her by her side. And his guidance led to the discovery of the three girls.

One night, just like the night she found the girls. She hears the voice of her son somewhere in the sky congratulating her for doing her best.
