About
Latest version [2.0.5]
When the protagonist wakes up, they find themselves lost in a different world. As they learn the words of the mysterious monsters that speak a strange language, they search for a way to escape.

In this alternate world, a different language is used. Players will interpret and dechiper characters' words through expressions, gestures and the objects they point to.

The language of this world isn’t as refined as human languages. One meaning is concentrated in one word, with almost no particles; a string of words conveys only a rough meaning.

This is a point-and-click adventure game. Players will investigate items to learn words or engage in conversation to progress.

Choices for actions are available at various points. Small changes in development, branching paths, or even instant death can occur.

Even if you reach a game over, you can retry from just before without any penalties.
There’s no affection management, and acquiring flags will unlock more choices. Players can freely jump back to previously encountered scenes from chapters and try again. Play comfortably and easily!

There are 20 types of mid-story endings (bad endings or unresolved problems).
There are a total of 17 endings, including character route endings and late-stage endings upon reaching Chapter 5.
*Note: There is a fake ending presented as a happy ending midway through the story, so please be careful not to misunderstand.

◆Playtime
It takes about 5 hours to complete one full playthrough of all routes.
*This game is designed with replayability in mind, where understanding character conversations may require re-watching scenes after filling up the dictionary.
◆Playing without sound is not recommended (There are sound-based effects).
Players who want to make the characters say funny things or try different playful approaches are also welcome to enjoy the game freely.
Sums Steam only; Nintendo publishes no volume signal, so the true total is higher by an unknown amount.

уважаемые разрабы. 手短に言います。足のない男と、濡れた髪をした青い女性、そしてお尻のガンをテーマにしたあなたのゲーム、すごく気に入りました。アイデアは最高ですが、エンディングがイマイチですね。エンディングの数を減らして、その分もっと力を入れていたら、もっとカッコよくなったかもしれません。とはいえ、ゲーム自体は素晴らしいので、あなたの次の「大ヒット作」が待ちきれません。
uh.. hot men.. i think i like the one wit black hair.. cutiest puppy boy >_<

honestly, i had very high expectations for this game back when it came out due to the fanbase and content I saw. When I actually bought and played the game, everything was very tedious. All the characters seem very shallow and in the long run don't matter unless youre playing for a specific ending. you don't get to "romance" any of the characters and the deciphering part of the game was so exhausting it just isn't very good in hindsight. It is a very unique concept, which I like, and also how the mc we are playing has interesting lore. I feel like for an otome like this that focuses more on the mc than the "love interests", it lacks in gameplay and plot in trying to do both. (plot as in the mc's adventure) So overall, this game was very tiring for me and had no lasting impact. Regret buying this game. (This is my first review so bear with me if my review upsets you or doesn't make sense)
I did not like Homicipher at all. All the reviews I see about this game praise specifically Mr Crawling and barely anything about the gameplay or story or anything than 'hot monster man' which frustrates me severely. Having a game be about language deciphering is amazing, I love a fun language-based puzzle game but the translation team for the english localization did this game dirty. Some of the words have multiple meanings like would & should using the same word, as well as the monsters speaking in broken english defeats the very purpose of the game. When you do have a full correct dictionary the monsters still talk like children with very rudimentary sentences, which makes the decoding/point of the game way more difficult by this decision. I also found the story to be strange and roundabout and the art honestly kind of bad to look at it, and not in a good visceral way. I only review games once I beat them/get an ending and once I got a true ending that wasn't a death I was so thankfully to finally get this game over with. It is such a slog to play and I wish I could enjoy it like so many others do but it seems like the little enjoyment people seem to talk about are the monster men which are just kind of nothing to write home about. Maybe I'll give it another chance and try to see all the endings but by god is this game boring and tedious. I can see the appeal and I don't fault others for enjoying it if they like what's presented to them but its a bad language puzzle game flat out. I have very little time in this game because it felt grating to play but I see others with much more time clocked in, maybe hopefully it gets better and more palatable because I want to like this game but unfortunately not for me.
this has to be my favourite game of all time. one day, i will write a big review
This game was so interesting. It needs a few replays to fill out the dictionary, but there are plenty of context clues to complete new words, and every playthrough gets more and more fun as you understand more of the conversations - from "I wonder what they're talking about..." to "That guy wanted to eat me this whole time!?" The characters are a delight, actually. They're really funny. It's easy to skip to the scenes you haven't completed using the chapter select as well, so completing the game is convenient, even though it's a VN. It's a short game, but it was worth the money.
