Interactive Evidence Gathering: Combines classic visual novel text with side-scrolling exploration and point-and-click investigation. Walk around the HoloHigh campus and find hidden clues yourself.

The World of "HoloTrials: Case Covered"

Welcome to "HoloHigh." This prestigious academy is now shaken by escalating school-wide conflicts. The conflict is divided into two factions: the chaotic group of rebellious second-year students, "HoloMyth," and the strict, disciplined first-year students, "HoloCouncil," appointed by the school to maintain order and suppress Myth.

As the conflict between the two reaches its peak, a mysterious incident occurs on campus. With "Gawr Gura" emerging as the prime suspect, student detective "Watson Amelia" steps up to uncover the truth. She must navigate the tensions between the two factions, interrogate suspects and witnesses, piece together the timeline, and save her best friend from suspension.
