In the course of your investigation, you must track down and interrogate suspects, as well as collect and combine clues. The use of force in the form of a sword-based combat system is also said to play a role, as is whether you “show mercy or retaliate in the name of the Holy Law.” In addition, you can enter the so-called underworld, which is ruled by a “dark power”.
