“When it comes to developing a mystery game, having players solve various puzzles, answer questions, and try and deduce the true culprit from evidence have come in many different forms over the years but few, if any, have ever taken Nippon Ichi Software’s approach to the genre. With NIS opting to create their own brand new murder mystery game, the team has fallen back on the type of genre they are most familiar with, strategy RPGs. With Process of Elimination looking to blend SPRG gameplay with visual novel storytelling, is this mystery one that can be solved or is this strange combination too much for even the greatest detective?”
