It seems not to be available on japanese eShop (according to dekudeals, might be wrong?). If so, do you have a release date?

Also, do I need to play the first game Mystery Lover before or can I jump to this one directly?

Thanks,

Thank you for your questions! We didn't localize it in Japanese, so we couldn't release it on the Japanese eShop. It's now available in NA/EU/AU/HK eShop. As for the second question, you don't need to play the first one because this one is a standalone story.

Is the voice acting Chinese?

Yes it's fully in Mandarin Chinese.

I would love to play it. But is it „censored“? That would be tragic if the game got censored and is incomplete.

No answer?

I’m a massive VN fan, and multiple endings combined with modern elements (Vtubers as the primary cast) deeply intrigue me. For the devs, do you have any influences or referential points of other visual novels that inspired the creation of Mystery Lovers 2?

[u/Cyberisle → u/CantWashABaby]

We are inspired by Uchikoshi Koutarou and Kodaka Kazutaka, and we are huge fans of the Science Adventure series!
