Spike Chunsoft has revealed six new characters that you'll be meeting during your adventures in Master Detective Archives: Rain Code.
These characters are all known as 'Master Detectives' and each possess an ability known as "Forensic Forte". They've all been designed by the game's character designer, Rui Komatsuzaki.
Master Detective Archives: Rain Code is scheduled to launch on Nintendo Switch on June 30th, 2023.
Vivia Twilight
Japanese VA: Yuichiro Umehara
English VA: Aleks Le
He has a decadent and aesthetic atmosphere about him. Often lying down in various places, such as the fireplace at the agency or under the hotel's grand piano, his personality can be described as self-indulgent.
Forensic Forte: Spectral Projection
Freed from the flesh, the ghost form can pass through walls and floors without being seen by other people.
Aphex Logan
Japanese VA: Showtaro Morikubo
English VA: Stephen Fu
Born to lawyer parents, he lost them at an early age and lived a rough life in the slums from then on. Due to these circumstances, he tends to be rude and tries to solve problems with violence.
Forensic Forte: Life Detection
The location of any living thing within a 50-meter radius can be found.
Zange Eraser
Japanese VA: Yosuke Akimoto
English VA: Kurt Bicknell
A quiet old detective with the solemn expression of a battle-hardened veteran. He never talks about his past, but his style of speech suggests ties to a government organization.
Forensic Forte: Thoughtography
Zange’s memory can be transcribed as a Thoughtographic image onto electronic devices, such as a smartphone.
Zilch Alexander
Japanese VA: Tomokazu Seki
English VA: Y. Chang
He loves the harmony between people and nature and specializes in dealing with those who would try to disrupt it. His tendency toward leading the conversation and moving things along efficiently sometimes gives off the impression of arrogance to those around him.
Forensic Forte: Animal Investigation
Controls animals to gather intelligence, even in areas inaccessible to humans.
Desuhiko Thunderbolt
Japanese VA: KENN
English VA: Khoi Dao
A young man with a goofball nature who likes hitting on women under the guise of investigation. Desuhiko's goal is to become famous as a mystery-solving superstar detective. He carries a huge backpack filled with tools necessary for his disguises.
Forensic Forte: Disguise
In addition to disguising his clothes and face, his voice, height, and weight can also be changed, allowing him to match the target of disguise visually and psychologically.
Halara Nightmare
Japanese VA: Yui Ishikawa
English VA: Amber Lee Connors
Halara is always cool under fire and has solved many difficult cases through precise judgment. Halara only believes in money and will not accept a request without payment, regardless of who the client may be.

It'll be interesting to see how these detective superpowers the characters have are utilized. I feel like how successful this is as an experience will be heavily dependent on the quality of the puzzles on offer.
Cautiously optimistic about this game but I think I'm leaning more toward cautious. Not really got a lot of faith I'm going to get as invested in this as I am in Danganronpa.
Love the character designs. I'll always appreciate their artstyle!
There's a lot of potential in these detective powers and the other gameplay mechanics we've seen so far, looking forward to this game and fingers crossed for it to be good!
I’m PRETTY invested in this game. I went so far as to preorder the limited edition. I generally like this publisher’s library, and I am a pretty big fan of the AI The Somnium Files games - but I get the impression it’s not going to be really similar. I like the aesthetic, and I’m hoping for a murder mystery adventure/visual novel hybrid with some heart.
Hope this is good. I'm really loving it so far.
