Cast

Plot

The teaser trailer for the game shows terrorists overtaking a building complex called the Sky Clover.

The game opens with Kogoro Mouri being hired to guard the President of the Moriyama Construction Corporation, which built the Sky Clover complex, on the day that the complex is celebrating its one year anniversary. As Kogoro, Ran Mouri, and Conan Edogawa are leaving the Mouri Detective Agency, they stumble upon a woman on the ground, who claims to have amnesia. Since she appears to be the architect of the Sky Clover complex, Kanako Shimizaki, they take her with them. Upon arriving at Sky Clover, they discover the President is nowhere to be found. Meanwhile, Ai Haibara and the Detective Boys are in another part of the complex, climbing the emergency stairs to reach the roof because they believe there are monsters up there. Ai suddenly hears suspicious voices, which call each other by flower codenames and say threatening things. She knows has to keep the kids out of danger! At the same time, Heiji Hattori is waiting elsewhere in the complex to appear on a TV show to talk about a recent case of his, with Kazuha Toyama supporting him. Suddenly, a body is found in the Clover Aquarium, and all of the detectives are caught up in the case!

Characters

  • Gameplay

    This game uses the "zapping system" previously used in other games by the developer. The zapping system permits players to switch between characters instead of playing as one single character throughout the game. For example, the teaser trailer for the game shows Conan being switched out for Heiji. When a character's story can progress no further, then they "Close the Door", which can only be opened again by zapping to a different character who has the key to the other character's story.

    Along with visual novel style story gameplay, the game will sometimes ask the player a multiple choice question. The player earns "Conan Coins" for getting it right, but the amount of coins earned depends on how many attempts the player makes. If they get it right immediately, they get the full amount of coins. A wrong answer deducts coins from the possible earnings. Conan Coins can be used in the Extras Menu to unlock extras like concept art.

    There is a feature called "Truth Cards", which are how evidence is recorded. They are used by presenting the right card at the right time to advance the story. They are explained in-universe as a convenient way to transmit what each detective learns to the others, since communication services are spotty in the Sky Clover complex.

    It also has investigation segments, where the player can move a cursor over a still background and select points of interest to examine. Variations of this include needing to point out a discrepancy or specific point to use as evidence, and using a Truth Card on a point in the environment.

    During intense moments where action is required, the game enters a mode called "Detective Time" in which the player is presented with an option of what action the character could take on the bottom screen, and must either draw an X or an O over it to deny or accept it. If it is rejected with an X, a different action is suggested, and this continues until the player selects the right action with an O. If the player rejects the correct action, they must tap the bottom screen quickly until the action appears again. Detective Time has a time limit, and during that time limit it can require multiple instances of needing to choose an action.

    It has a minigame where the player is presented with hiragana situated on a roulette wheel, and they must select the right character in the right order to form the correct word that answers the displayed question. The wheel spins constantly, and as each correct character is chosen, it gets faster and faster. Also, the amount of Conan Coins the player earns from the minigame increases.

    The game has AR (Augmented Reality) functionality. If the player scans one of the game's cards, they can have Conan give them a hint or gain a special in-game card which can be used at specific points during the story to unlock bonus scenarios.
