Immersive 3D Murder Mystery 'You Who Are Charred' to Launch on Steam July 8, 2026

Indie game circle Gudaguda Buton announces that the 3D murder mystery 'You Who Are Charred' will be released on Steam on July 8, 2026.

This title evolves murder mystery into a 3D game, making it more immersive and easier to play. It is a multiplayer game for 4 players that does not require a game master.

The setting is 18th century France.

The Curse of Soot — a mysterious curse that burns to death any living thing it touches.

A young man, afflicted with the curse by the 'Soot Demon,' lives in a mansion in a remote area.

Today is his birthday. Some people have specially visited the mansion.

Today, let us offer him blessings—but he was found dead, burned to a crisp.

Is it the demon's curse, human resentment, or perhaps an accident? Uncover the darkness of the cursed mansion.

Your Own Story, Completed Through Player Interaction

Players become 4 suspects in a murder-by-burning case that occurred in the cursed mansion, and challenge the investigation to prove their innocence. Investigate the scene, gather evidence, discuss your actions on the day with everyone, and find the culprit among the four.

"3D Murder Mystery" Meticulously Crafted from Motion to UI Offers High Immersion and Comfortable Operation

Numerous inexplicable scenes swirl around the murder-by-burning case. What do you know, whom do you trust, what do the pieces of evidence you hold mean...? All your memories and actions are the key to reaching the truth.

In the memory part of the case, you can re-experience your character's actions on the day of the incident in 3D.

Each scene has dedicated motion, with a total of 969 motions.

You can immerse yourself in your character with the same excitement as being the protagonist of a movie.

An絵本-style (picture book-style) setting document can be used at any time during the game to review memories from the day of the incident, allowing players to retrieve necessary information without stress.

Clues to the truth lie on the desk, in drawers, or under charred furniture... In the crime scene recreated in 3D, it is important to identify the evidence to be collected and grasp its true meaning.

In the exploration part, you will walk around the crime scene recreated in 3D and collect evidence.

With a single click, you can share evidence information with companions, and information that has been viewed once can be reconfirmed at any time. This new system thoroughly eliminates the hassle of information sharing and the problem of not being able to remember shared information that existed in traditional murder mysteries.

Whom to suspect, whom to ally with—every decision affects the outcome. To find the culprit within a limited time, choosing what to show and what to hide is also important.

In the discussion part, everyone gathers in the main hall to discuss who the culprit is among them.

A feature is the system of arranging the evidence gathered on the table for "full disclosure."

Finally, a vote is held, and the person who receives the most votes is apprehended as the culprit.

The ending is presented in a 3D novel format, read aloud by everyone, revealing who harbored what secrets and depicting the individual fates of the characters.

An "Outing" Experience, Even Online, Like Gathering Offline

This is not just an online murder mystery.

Gather with friends and head to a venue.

Return home chatting about your impressions with friends...

We have realized an experience like everyone going on an "outing" online.

As if visiting a murder mystery venue, a guide will greet you.

After the ending, there is a truth explanation part. In the form of receiving explanations and interviews from the guide, everyone's secrets and objectives are revealed.

You can discuss your impressions with everyone for 30 minutes on a train during sunset. "This part was interesting," "I was nervous about my secret being revealed then," "What should we play next?" The communication that arises in the spare time is also a highlight, truly embodying the idea that "the game experience isn't over until you get home."
