Series Features:
“Kara no Shoujo” can be compared to a large picture puzzle that we gradually assemble piece by piece. The games are a mix of detective, drama, and psychological horror - throughout the gameplay, we immerse ourselves in the role of a private detective and investigate a series of gruesome murders. They are beautiful in many ways: excellent visual design, pleasant soundtrack, abundance of poetic metaphors and parallels.

Description:
The action of this detective novella takes place in 1956. Tokyo is shaken by a series of brutal murders, one of which claimed the life of the fiancée of the main character of the novella - a detective named Tokisaka Reiji. Six years later, history repeats itself, and Reiji has a chance to catch the criminal this time, as requested by his old friend from the police. In addition, together with the hero, you will have to investigate two more cases: the serial murders of young female students, which will require you to work undercover as a teacher at a Catholic academy, and the search for the true “self” of one of its students, who has become your client.

The connection between games
Kara no Shoujo is a kind of semi-sequel to Cartagra, the previous game by Innocent Grey - throughout the game we can meet familiar characters, as well as discover numerous references, Easter eggs and interesting parallels.

Kara no Shoujo - The Second Episode

Release year/Reissue: 2012/2020
Genre: Visual Novel, Detective, Drama, Mystery, Psychological Thriller
Developer: Innocent Grey
Interface language: English
Voice language: Japanese

Description:
In the lead-up to World War II, when Japan was in a state of conflict, there existed a secluded village called Hitogata, also known as the Doll Village. It was hidden among the snowy mountains of the Hokuriku region. Here, an unusual tradition prevailed - the worship of clay figurines known as Hinna-sama.
The police asked Tokisaku Raidzi to investigate several unusual murders. Both cases shared one gruesome detail: the victims were found tied up, with a clay doll buried in their stomach. Raidzi did not work alone.
In the unfolding mysteries, there is a grim reminder: is the curse a decree from the heavens, ultimately carried out by people.

The connection between games:
In Kara no Shoujo 2, there are two storylines. One unfolds in the 1930s and presents a new story with new characters. The second storyline takes place in the mid-1950s - it is a continuation of KnS and Cartagra, in which we will meet again with the heroes from the previous games.
