Root Letter Heads to PC Sometime Later This Year

Kadokawa Games is bringing their mystery-themed visual novel Root Letter to PC.

The game will launch for PC via Steam sometime later this year. The visual novel first launched for PlayStation 4 and PS Vita back in June of last year, only to get a PC release via publisher DMM in Japan.


Here’s a rundown on the game, via its Steam page:


When a letter is delivered 15 years late – you discover an old pen-friend was involved in a murder, before she disappeared.
Travelling to her hometown, you must investigate the murder, using her past letters as clues to uncover the disturbing truth. Using Visual Novel and investigative gameplay elements, Root Letter elevates the Visual Novel genre to a whole new level.
