Mizzurna Falls

Overview

Mizzurna Falls is an adventure game set in an open world for the original PlayStation. Developed and published by Human Entertainment in 1998, it remained a Japanese-territory exclusive and never saw an official localization.

Story

Mizzurna Falls, Colorado.

At 6:13 am, on the 25th December, the body of Kathy Flannery is found in the woods surrounding the town, covered in blood, with what look to be injuries made by a large animal; possibly a bear. Less than an hour later, the mother of Emma Lowland, daughter of the Mayor, and Kathy's classmate, calls the police to report her daughter missing. Separate investigations begin, but the state police have suspicions that both cases may in fact be linked.

Matthew Williams, a friend of Emma's and classmate of both girls, begins his own investigation into the mystery.

Gameplay

The game world of Mizzurna Falls features a day/night cycle, which influences where the player can go and which NPCs can be talked to at any given point during play. Stores open and close, NPCs move from their jobs to their homes, and vice versa, the staff at the hospital will allow visitors during the day, but not at night, and so on.

As Matthew, the player is free to roam almost the entirety of the play area from the outset. Matthew's preferred mode of transport, a VW Beetle, can be driven anywhere on the map, providing the player remembers to periodically refuel at the local gas station.
