Novect, the studio behind the famous visual novel game The House in Fate Morgana, has revealed its next game is also destined for PS5 and will be published by genre veteran Aksys Games.

It’s currently referred to as Project Code M and lacks a release window, but you can catch the first trailer above. It sets up what is an intriguing hook: you’re seeking the truth behind a series of murders, but to find it, you will need to play as both an investigator and the killer themselves.

Here’s more context:

The story takes place in present day Tokyo, focusing on the Shitamachi area such as Asakusa and Yoshiwara, and involves Japan’s criminal underworld. As the murderer, set your trap, corner the target and commit your crime. The style of murder will unfold differently depending on the situation. As the investigator, uncover the truth by searching for clues and questioning witnesses.

After the excitement surrounding the Nintendo Switch release of The House in Fate Morgana, which was generated by a Metacritic rating of 96, the creations of Novect are more popular than ever before. Now Project Code M is confirmed for PS5, the hope will be it’s availability will cover all PS storefronts, as The House in Fate Morgana is only available in select territories.
