Unorthodox Rules is an in-development psychological deduction visual novel about reading people, bending rules, and finding a way out of an unfair game.
You wake up in a strange university with no memory, a head wound, and a masked referee forcing students into an irregular game of rock-paper-scissors. Victory is not about luck. It is about collecting clues, spotting contradictions, reading your opponent, and using the rules against the people who made them.
The game focuses on dialogue, investigation, card-based deduction, and a strategic Rock-Paper-Scissors-style mind game.
Inspired by works such as Liar Game, Ace Attorney, and other stories built around logic battles, bluffing, contradictions, and dramatic turnabouts, Unorthodox Rules combines mystery, comedy, and high-stakes mind games.
Features:
- Story-driven mystery-comedy visual novel
- Investigation, dialogue, and clue collection
- Card-based deduction puzzles
- Strategic Rock-Paper-Scissors-style mind games
- Hidden rules, unfair conditions, and dramatic reversals
- A cast of suspicious, ridiculous, and dangerous characters
