Root Film is a visual novel set in the Shimane prefecture in Japan, much like its predecessor Root Letter. This time around Kadokawa Games will have you investigating multiple mysteries in a much more intense adventure than the original. While it can initially seem like the mysteries you come across aren?t connected it won?t be long until you realise that you are on a much darker adventure then it first appeared.
The games main protagonist is Rintaro Yagumo, an up-and-coming director of a small independent film company. He?s been hired to work on a new collaboration called the Shimane Mystery Drama Project where three different directors will be creating their own films set within this region of Japan.
Things start to take a turn for the strange when Rintaro finds out that this is actually a reboot of a project that was cancelled ten years ago. No one can tell him why the project was cancelled and the original films seem to have been misplaced. All he can seem to find out is that something devastating happened and all those involved in the project have since resigned from the TV company.
While Rintaro and his team are scouting for locations for the film project they also try to investigate what happened ten years ago. Trouble seems to follow the team wherever they go and you?ll end up seeing some pretty dark subject matter including domestic violence and plenty of murders.
