The background of the story is set in London in 2075. Thanks to the “predictive AI” that can predict future crimes based on information on the Internet, crime rates around the world have been reduced by 90%. However, “Foresight AI” speculates that the future world will be destroyed by an unpreventable event. For this purpose, system personnel designed a new artificial intelligence that specifically tracks and solves crimes and named it “Sherlock”. The legendary detective pays tribute. AI “Sherlock” came to a conclusion that at the core of these events was Sherlock’s opponent AI “Moriarty”.
In the game, a group of players will work together to solve a murder case with an unknown victim. However, a villain is hidden among them and aimed at the killing target. As a player on Moriarty’s side, several conditions must be met to complete their murder, and Sherlock players must work hard to figure out his conspiracy to end the game.
The beta test of the new online game “Crime Sight” will be released from June 26th to July 12th, Japan time. Players from special regions are now open to apply for test qualifications.
