【Otome Game】Featured new work! Connect all foreshadowing completely, and expose the “Truth” that the nation tried to hide! Crime suspense romance ADV Sin of Astraea starts accepting pre-orders!

“If everything you believed in was a lie, what would you do?” Thrusting such a question is the first completely new title “Sin of Astraea” presented by the game brand for women “MintLip+.” What this work depicts is a breathless crime suspense set in a world where crime and conspiracy swirl. Rather than merely solving cases, the intentions of characters and complex human relationships intertwine, making it a story where decisions of players themselves hold important meanings. From the impressive catchphrase “Ascertain the truth, grasp the future freely,” the strong message put into the work is conveyed as well, isn't it? When the intricately spread foreshadowing connects into one, what on earth kind of truth will reveal itself? Expectations rise for the grand worldview reminiscent of foreign crime movies and unpredictable developments.

The beginning of the story was an event never acceptable to the protagonist. An important partner suddenly went missing, and the investigation was called off in an unnatural form. “Never again will I give up for unreasonable reasons.” Holding such firm determination in heart, the protagonist joins the Galtenas Federal Police Agency, commonly known as “GFPA.” However, what was waiting there was not brilliant investigation activities, but a transfer order to the 11th Information Investigation Room called the “final disposal site.” That department commonly called “Eleven” was outwardly a place entrusted only with chores. However, in reality, it was a special organization specializing in cases that cannot be investigated publicly among major national incidents. Doesn't this make you curious merely by hearing the setting already? Why was the protagonist assigned to this department? And what secret is hidden in the partner's disappearance? Numerous questions overlap, drawing you into the depths of the story.

What cannot be missed in “Sin of Astraea” is the unique combination of “suspense x romance.” Those whom the protagonist acts together with are unique companions with a quirk or two. Since confronting nation-scale incidents, mutual cooperation is indispensable. However, that believing in someone is not necessarily correct is also the dreadfulness of this work. Affection sprouting in situations falling into paranoia will surely hold a weight different from normal romance stories. Whether to doubt the counterpart, or believe through knowing the danger. Every time such a conflict is born, attachment to the characters seems likely to deepen too. The tension of incidents and the fluttering of heart at the moment distance closes. Where these contrasting emotions intersect is packed with the charm unique to this work.

The production team supporting the work is also a point we want to pay attention to. The one in charge of character design is Hachi Uehara. Furthermore, welcoming Ren Mikado as the main scenario writer, and Ryoko Seki and Nui Aono as sub-scenario writers. How attractive character sculpting and elaborate stories will fuse makes imagination swell, doesn't it? Particularly, in works where numerous mysteries and foreshadowings are prepared, casual conversations and small events can hold important meanings later on. You come to want to expect an experience looking back on scenes once read through and noticing “Those words had that kind of meaning!”. Up to the human drama hidden behind grand incidents, it is a work to savor thoroughly.

Another major highlight is expressive acting by talented voice actors. It is said that gorgeous casts are appointed not only for main characters, but also for sub-characters announced at a later date. Words exchanged in tense air, and even slight breathings suppressing emotions, seem likely to vividly convey characters' inner sides through voice acting. Above all, in stories where you do not know who is an ally and who is an enemy, impressions received change greatly with a single tone of voice. You should be able to fully enjoy a sense of immersion as if having entered into a single foreign suspense movie, shouldn't you?

The whereabouts of the missing partner, major incidents shaking the nation, and emotions of companions intertwining intricately. “Sin of Astraea” is a featured work that seems likely to let you taste the fun of mystery solving and the depth of human relationships at the same time. What to believe, and what conviction to carry through. The one entrusted with that choice is none other than you yourself as the protagonist. As you get closer to the truth, new questions might be born. Even so, do you have the resolution to step forward? For people for whom merely sweet romance is not enough, and people who like profound crime dramas, it is a title we want you to check out by all means. The moment all foreshadowings connect, the world reflected in your eyes might be completely different from the beginning.
