Players will receive a “mysterious letter” after buying the game. Players are supposed to play the game while using a card and notes enclosed in the letter. A video of various places in Tokyo can be viewed on a website listed in the letter to solve the mystery.
The company hopes people who have refrained from outings due to the COVID-19 crisis and lost opportunities to travel in Japan or overseas will enjoy the game.
