The game, in one paragraph

You inherit a boarding house called Crane Lodge from your grandmother. Her will has three strange conditions; her death has one official cause, and her manuscript's last line says not to believe it. The four men living upstairs — a book café owner, an estate lawyer, a rooftop photographer, and a bar owner — each lied to you on day one. The game runs on their daily clock: mornings belong to one of them, midnight to another. A cozy mystery you read your way through, one night of 365 at a time.

What makes it different

• A player-friendly gacha we wrote down before writing the gacha: hard pity at 70 with no off-banner, all rates published (with weekly observed results on a public page), past limited cards remain obtainable, no stamina, no VIP levels.

• Four time slots structure the whole game — and the studio's social presence runs on the same clock.

• Openly AI-assisted: disclosure below, in every store listing, and in-game.
