&0 / and zero: coly announces “detective” and “romance” game for Spring 2022

coly has announced a new mobile game, &0 – pronounced and zero – to be launching in Spring 2022. Much like the company’s previous games such as Stand My Heroes and Mahoutsukai no Yakusoku, &0 / and zero will also be targetting the female demographic.

Dubbed a “detective and romance simulation” game, you’ll be playing a heroine who has lost her memory, along the way meeting detectives whose pasts you can gradually unravel and learn about, for a “once in a lifetime” encounter. Presumably this is firmly in the otome game genre rather than the “general” joseimuke umbrella considering the focus on romance.

As there’s no trailer or much information at time of writing, how the gameplay will work out is anyone’s guess. See Tears of Themis, with a somewhat similar premise (law firm and non-amnesiac-to-start heroine with four potential love interests). The scenario writers behind Stand My Heroes and Ikemen Sengoku are named as part of the project, so if you’ve enjoyed either of those works before, then do look forward to the release, which is presumably Japan only for now.

You can check out their official website and Twitter for relevant updates as they come. It will be a free to play title with the regular in app purchases.
