DREAMLAND – Succubus Kingdom – [Final] [P-can]

The year is 1956; a series of bizarre murders rocks the city of Tokyo. Tokisaka Reiji, an ex-cop turned private eye, joins the investigation at the behest of his friend Uozumi Kyozo, a detective in the MPD. At the same time, he takes on a missing persons’ case at a private all-girls high school, as well as a mysterious request from a girl named Toko to find her true self. As Reiji frantically struggles to crack the case, he learns that the murders bear an uncanny resemblance to a case in which his own fiancé was murdered six years ago. But try as he might, the body count just keeps rising…

5.Known Issues

“The game looks blurry in fullscreen mode [critical] – To fix that, change desktop resolution to 1280×720 and check free aspect ratio in the game options.”
“Opening doesn’t play after prologue [critical] – If you have LAV Filters installed, try resetting settings or uninstalling it. This can be the reason.”
“Takashiro hospital becomes Takanari after loading save file with map section [minor] – No solution”
“Screen is not fully dimmed, when “end investigation” dialog appears [minor] – No solution”
"Some very long sentences are splitted [not a bug] – Making a font even smaller is not an option. Using 4 lines with current size won’t be enough and will look ugly
I suggest you checking voice continues after advancing in the game options."
