Master Detective Archives: Rain Code is a dark fantasy adventure game developed by Spike Chunsoft and released in 2023 exclusively for Nintendo Switch. Created by the team behind the Danganronpa series, it follows Yuma, an amnesiac detective-in-training, and Shinigami, a spirit bound to him, as they investigate unsolved cases in a peculiar city perpetually shrouded in rain. The game blends detective work with supernatural elements, pairing an unconventional protagonist duo against mysteries embedded in an oppressive, rain-soaked urban setting. The partnership between Yuma and Shinigami forms the core of both the narrative and the investigative mechanics, with the spirit's presence adding a dark, otherworldly dimension to the case-solving experience. The project carries clear thematic DNA from its creators' earlier work while establishing its own distinct tone and setting.
A city of rain is gripped by innumerable unsolved mysteries, under the complete control of a megacorporation. Master Detectives from around the world, each possessing unique powers, must rise to the challenge of uncovering the truth. With Shinigami by his side, Yuma joins the investigation as a trainee of the detective agency.
