Master Detective Archives: Rain Code Trailer Reveals New Character “Number One”

Master Detective Archives: Rain Code, the upcoming mystery adventure from Spike Chunsoft and Too Kyo Games, is poised to feature a rich cast of unique and powerful characters. Character trailers released throughout the past few months have gradually revealed the titular Master Detectives, members of the World Detective Organization, who can use powerful abilities called Forensic Forte to rid the world of all unsolved crimes.

The latest trailer focused on a few already revealed characters, demonstrating their English voice actors and their Forensic Forte powers. Halara Nightmare, voiced by Amber Lee Connors, can use Postcognition to view crime scenes as they looked in the past. In contrast to the logical Halara, Aphex Logan, voiced by Stephen Fu, is a rough-and-tumble character with a forbidding appearance and a dark past. He can use his Forte, Life Detection, to identify living creatures within a 50-meter radius.

Pucci Lavmin, who will be voiced in English by Lindsay Sheppard, seems to have a high opinion of herself. She frequently tells others to shut up and sometimes refers to herself in the third person. However, Pucci is still a valuable asset to have on the team, as she possesses the ability Audial Aptitude – aka super-hearing. Vivia Twilight, voiced by Aleks Le, possesses a particularly unique Forensic Forte: Spectral Projection, which allows him to project himself as a “ghost” form that can travel through walls and floors.

In addition to focusing on some of the previously revealed Master Detectives, the latest trailer also showed off one new character: the aptly named “Number One,” who seems to hold a leadership position within the World Detective Organization. This intense old man, who desires to create a world where no mystery will remain unsolved, will be voiced by SungWon Cho, aka ProZD. Cho is a noted Spike Chunsoft fan, having played multiple Danganronpa and Zero Escape games on his Let’s Play YouTube channel as well as previously appearing in AI: The Somnium Files – nirvanA Initiative as Gen. Number One’s Forensic Forte has not been revealed, being listed simply as “???” in the trailer.

Master Detective Archives: Rain Code will star protagonist Yuma Kokohead and his supernatural assistant Shinigami alongside the many members of the World Detective Organization. The game, which comes from the mind of Danganronpa creator Kazutaka Kodaka and features the signature art style of Danganronpa character designer Rui Komatsuzaki, will release on June 30, 2023. The game will be available for both PC and Nintendo Switch. A Deluxe Edition featuring a bonus digital novel and other goods is also currently available for pre-order.
