Case 03: True Cannibal Boy

Case 03: True Cannibal Boy is a horror mystery adventure with ghost story elements. College student Lily, plagued by anxiety, searches for her missing crush, Sally. As Lily investigates, Sally’s boyfriend grows increasingly suspicious, and the story of the Cannibal Boy appears to be connected to the disappearance.

Investigate the disappearance

You examine objects and talk with other characters to gather clues, advance the plot and uncover the truth. The game uses 2.5D camerawork during exploration, and your choices determine which of three possible endings Lily and Sally face.

The characters

Lily is a college student with a crush on her best friend, Sally. Sally is also a college student; she recently got a boyfriend before going missing. Her boyfriend claims to have lost his memory, and even Sally did not know his background.

Brucie and Jade are an exorcist duo who help search for Sally, though they do not seem like good people. The Cannibal Boy is an evil spirit from a ghost story who tears off his victims’ heads with his teeth.

Story origins

The story is substantially adapted from the developer’s tabletop role-playing sessions with friends. The original TRPG script, 首切り様 (Ms. Beheader), was written by Marikoro, who consented to the adaptation.
