▍ Homicipher Story & Worldview
Homicipher tells a story of a girl who wanders into the Other World and on her way to escape she encounters many strange men who speak an unknown language. You will interpret their language based on their expressions and gestures. By continuously deciphering the language and filling in appropriate words, you will understand the key clues behind all this and escape from the Other World.
However, the players’ characters dangerously fall in love with these strange men when communicating! Get a taste of living on the edge by facing situations where the wrong choice can decide your life or death. Understand their language and make the correct decision to stay alive…
▍ Homicipher Gameplay
Homicipher incorporates a unique language decoding system on top of the usual adventure. Because of the language barrier, under normal circumstances, players will not be able to interact at all with the boys they encounter in the game. You must speculate the true meaning of those words through their expressions, gestures, the objects they are pointing at, and many more to successfully understand what they are talking about.
In the course of your exploration, players will meet various mysterious boys. They will treat you kindly or ask for your help. Of course, not all mystery boys are friendly. You have to make your own choice depending on the situation. A little carelessness can cost you your life. Words you’ve encountered will be added to your Glossary, where you can revise and see what you’ve learned. If you make a mistake in your inference…who knows what will happen to you…
