MASTER DETECTIVE ARCHIVES: RAIN CODE has high stakes drama, convoluted mysteries and cool vibes

There are few game developers in the world who make more compelling murder mysteries than those at Too Kyo Games. Comprised of team members responsible for the DANGANRONPA and ZERO ESCAPE series, there's a lot of pedigree behind MASTER DETECTIVE ARCHIVES: RAIN CODE.

An absolute mouthful of a title aside, Rain Code delivers on the high stakes drama and convoluted murder mysteries expected of the talent behind the scenes. And while the overall presentation and strong aesthetic is arguably the best I've seen from this development team, not everything has progressed quite so linearly.

Taking the analysis even further, Oliver Brandt (GLFH, Vooks) and Jess Zammit (Player 2, Represent Me) discuss Rain Code in even more depth
