is an adult visual novel/adventure game video game by Innocent Grey for Windows. It was released in Japan on July 4, 2008, and by MangaGamer (with the assistance of the TLWiki) for English-speaking markets on June 29, 2011. Gameplay Kara no Shōjos gameplay primarily revolves around reading dialogue with other characters and making choices that affect the outcome of the game. At certain points in the game the player character, Reiji, is tasked with investigating crime scenes. During these investigation sequences, the player must examine these scenes to uncover evidence and depending on the evidence found, the course of the game can change. After collecting evidence, the player must put it together during inference sequences, in which Reiji must find the best answer from the clues obtained before. However, it is possible to fail an inference sequence by missing a given piece of evidence during a prior investigation; this in turn affects the game's ending. The game also features a travel system, through which the player can traverse between different locations in Tokyo. The player can only use this a limited number of times per day, and only on certain days. Plot Set in a post-World War II Japan during 1956, Kara no Shōjo'''s story revolves around , a private investigator who is investigating a series of grotesque murders on the request of his former colleague/best friend, of the Tokyo metropolitan police force. The murders are reminiscent of another string of serial murders that occurred six years ago prior to the game where Reiji lost his fiancée, which drives him with a strong desire to solve this case. Later at a park, Reiji also meets a high school girl from Ouba Girls Academy named , who asks him to find her real self. Reiji is initially unsure of what she means, but later finds out that Toko has an unusually complicated past that may have more to do with the current string of serial killings than Reiji initially expects. While working to solve the growing number of murder cases in Tokyo, Reiji takes some time out to get to know Toko and her friends as well as other students from her school while working behind-the-scenes to unravel the mysteries of her dark past.
