The samurai detective game Master Magistrate is now available in Early Access! Solve three puzzling mysteries as you get to know the game's cast of cute girls, dependable daddies, and colorful townspeople!
Chapter 1: Ouka Riot
Meet the people of Oukacho, the samurai police of the shogunate, and the warrior vigilantes of the Shinsengumi. A young girl is found covered in blood—standing over the gory corpse of a ferryman, brutally murdered in his own home. How did she do it? Could she somehow be innocent? And if she didn't do it—who did?
Chapter 2: Burnout Engine
When a fire breaks out in a residential building, the Magistrate's Office's star mechanic Rimu is there to save the day. In the aftermath, though, it falls to the magistrate to investigate the cause. A sushi salesman, a petty brigand, and Rimu's mentor all witnessed the fire, but can you cut through the flames of confusion and lies and sift the truth from the ashes?
Chapter 3: Tempered Steel
The town's biggest moneylender is dead in his basement, and the town's most famous thief is back from the dead and admitting to the crime. Is he telling the truth? What could he be hiding, and why? And why has a man who should have been executed spent the last sixteen years in a dungeon?
Golly, mister, three whole chapters?
Yep! Investigate, examine, and expose all the answers today in over ten hours of gameplay!
And if, while you're at it, you should happen to detect a localization bug or typo—please let us know!
Wait, what isn't available yet in Early Access, again?
Glad you asked!
- The main story's final chapter

Those things are planned for release next year. If you're ready to play anyway, then come on and jump in now! We think the game is a lot of fun as-is, and it will only get better from here.
