Master Detective Archives: Rain Code is a 2023 adventure video game developed by Too Kyo Games and Spike Chunsoft, and published by Spike Chunsoft. The game, created by several members who worked on the Danganronpa series, including scenario writer Kazutaka Kodaka, character designer Rui Komatsuzaki, and composer Masafumi Takada, was first released for the Nintendo Switch on June 30, 2023. An enhanced version was released for PlayStation 5, Windows, and Xbox Series X/S on July 18, 2024, in Japan and October 1 worldwide.
The story centers around Yuma Kokohead, a detective trainee with amnesia, and his shinigami ally Shinigami investigating an isolated, rainy city called Kanai Ward controlled by a corporation known as the Amaterasu Corporation, where the primary enforcers are the Peacekeepers led by director Yomi Hellsmile. His mission in the city is to solve Kanai Ward's Ultimate Secret alongside other Master Detectives who also oppose Amaterasu Corporation, which will help the detectives solve the Great Global Mystery. Finding the truth is made difficult when Yomi Hellsmile constantly sends out his Peacekeepers who interfere with the cases he investigates for their own malevolent reasons, requiring Yuma to use the Mystery Labyrinth summoned by the shinigami and solve the cases there by gathering the evidence needed to prove the culprit's identity.
