主の帰りを待ちながら (Waiting For The Master's Return) is a co-op mystery game from Japan. The game is strictly for 4 players only, who are the four android characters in the game. Through role-play and discussion, they solve the mystery together.
The publisher says...
"Somewhere in Japan, deep in the mountains that doesn't even appear on maps, there is a small research institute. There, Dr. Sakurada and the four androids he developed were conducting research every day. But now, there is no one who appears to be a doctor at the research institute, and four people appear to have lost their memories...
Players will be asked to step into the shoes of a specific character, experience the story, and uncover the truth of this story through discussion.
The first in a series of 'mystery experience games' that combine the story experience elements of a murder mystery game and the truth-finding elements of a mystery-solving game!"
