Type-Noise: Shonen Shojo

Type-Noise: Shonen Shojo is a narrative puzzle game set in a city that resembles Tokyo but is not Tokyo. Six teenagers caught in a shared crisis try to escape while recovering memories they have sealed away. Their journey explores emotional taboos, the scars they carry and the challenge of facing their pasts and themselves.

The city and its puzzles

The teenagers search for a way out of a distorted labyrinth formed from mental trauma. Its surreal imagery includes inverted hanging puppets, scattered paints, and warped lights and shadows. The story combines visual art, suspense and puzzle-solving as the group investigates the true nature of the city.

The game contains over 40 puzzles of varying difficulty, including cause-and-effect reasoning, logic puzzles, courtroom battles in the style of Ace Attorney, mathematical-style deductions and scenes where you gather clues with a single click.

The characters

Six teenagers bring different struggles to the group: doubts, jealousy, foolishness, pride, malice and greed.

• Zena: an icy girl who loves hero shows.
• Itsuki: a boy tormented by jealousy.
• Honoka: a stubborn, skeptical girl.
• Kaito: a boy filled with self-doubt after being ostracized for his scarred face.
• Hiyori: a streamer who habitually lies.
• Soto: a meddlesome but honest boy.

A ghost cat named Specter watches over the city.
