In Shiromitsugawa, mysterious Artifacts grant supernatural powers, and some users exploit them to harm others. This episode follows Kakeru Niimi and his classmates as they investigate a series of supernatural murders, with the story shifting its focus to upperclassman Haruka Kosaka.
Read through the group’s investigation, confrontations with Artifact users, and growing conflict with the organization Rig Veda. The mystery builds on earlier episodes as the characters work to understand the dangers around them and decide whom to trust.
The game is a story-led visual novel, balancing supernatural suspense with school-life comedy and Kakeru’s developing relationship with Haruka. Choices offer limited divergence, and the episode includes two endings.
Many supplied reviews enjoy the way the mystery and broader plot gain momentum, with twists and returning clues making this feel like a significant step in the series. Haruka’s character and relationship with Kakeru are frequent highlights, as are the artwork and music. Some players find the pacing uneven or the romance less engaging, and many complaints focus on translation errors and missing or misaligned text.
