About “DIGITAL EXORCIST”
■ Defrag, Destroy, Execute. Exorcise demons and solve mysterious cases!
Set in a world where advanced systems powered by occult magic are fused with late 20th-century technology, “DIGITAL EXORCIST” is an ADV game presented in a visual novel format. In a rural town in Mississippi struck by a brutal incident, the main character—a former agent named Sawyer—investigates the crime scene with their digital companion, Tomodachi.
Players take on the role of Sawyer, a Digital Exorcist, collecting evidence, uncovering hidden truths behind cases, and solving supernatural crimes while exorcising cyber demons.
● Investigate the scene thoroughly with your digital partner Tomodachi, gathering evidence and equipment.
● Build bonds with a cast of unique yet troubled characters as you pursue each case.
● Face off against demons in real battles. Use items and weapons you have collected to resist and complete your exorcism.
● Nostalgic pixel art and a classic digital synth soundtrack evoke that “back in the day” feel.
● A deeply insightful and moving, sometimes painful, story about modern life.
