Delicious Death for Detectives
Delicious Death for Detectives (2022) is the third work in the Ryuuzen Clan series by Kie Houjou.
Why did we start with the third book instead of the first?
...Because I am a short sighted and foolish man.
DDfD is a good old-fashioned death game novel with a modern twist: gaming.
In the post-COVID future of 2024, VR games are the hottest thing in the world, and the hottest thing in VR is Mystery Maker. Naturally, a sequel is inevitable, and as part of the game's pre-release hype, producer Kurata Chikage has invited seven real life Great Detectives to playtest an early build of Mystery Maker 2.
At least, she says it's just a playtest...
On the day of, all seven of the participants are drugged and knocked unconscious. They awaken to find themselves wearing Virtue's Last Reward style locked watches in rooms containing hidden camera feeds of their families and other loved ones. The rules are simple: just play the game as planned.
Mystery Maker 2 is, as the name suggests, a game of making mysteries. The player with the role of Murderer must kill their fellow detectives in VR without getting caught before the time limit runs out. The losers of the game face a simple fate: death at the hands of the Gamemaster's hidden accomplice, the Executioner.
Will the Detectives be able to escape the death game? Who among them is the Executioner? And just what is Kurata's motive for enacting this mad scheme?
