The Centennial Case: A Shijima Story from Square Enix and h.a.n.d. Inc. is now available on PS4, PS5, and Nintendo Switch. The PC version via Steam will be available 13 May 2022. The game is an immersive, live-action mystery-adventure game, centered around the titular – and ill-fated – Shijima family, who have experienced a chain of inexplicable deaths in their family over the past century.
Follow mystery writer, Haruka Kagami, and deduce the truth behind the four murder cases within the Shijima household. Immerse into an authentically traditional Japanese story, transcend time across different eras of Japan and collect information scattered throughout each era to uncover the truth and solve an age-old mystery. Presented like a live-action drama, see the subtlety in motion and expression that cannot truly be captured through computer generated graphics.
