About the Game

Five characters mysteriously vanish while shooting a movie of the infamous play, “The King in Yellow”, only to find themselves in a strange place. Based on their testimonies, try to find a way out of this domain.

Before the King in Yellow Cometh (黄衣の王がやってくる前に), another title in ARCLIGHT’s Mystery Portable Series, is a cooperative deduction game set in the Cthulhu Mythos, with simple rules just by flipping cards.

Compared to the previous game, Letter from Innsmouth (インスマスから届いた手紙), in which players unravel horrifying childhood memories, this work is a suspense thriller – a tense escape drama set in a another world.

The ending may change depending on the number of cards flipped!
