Inside EVE: Burst Error

What it is

"In this game there are two heroes, Kojiroh and Marina, who are each called to solve their own cases, while running into each other. This game allows you to switch characters to solve the mysteries these heroes encounter. This "Multi-Sight Adventure" allows you to view what's happening in other episode while playing in your own.

Kojiroh's Episode: A down on his luck, private investigator finally gets a break, as he is hired to investigate some very suspicious pieces of art. Even though he feels a little weird, the pay is huge! Yet he may be drawn into a nightmare involving a string of bizarre murders.

Marina's Episode: Marina is a national intelligence agent with a 99% success rate. Her new assignment is to protect the daughter of a Japanese embassy official stationed abroad. As you encounter numerous attackers, you become aware of a dangerous government dispute that is the root of these attacks."

The premise

Eve burst error is set in modern-day Japan. The player controls two characters: a young, seemingly careless private investigator Kojiroh, and the special agent Marina. Kojiroh has been struggling to make a living as a lone PI, but now luck seems to smile to him: the director of the Eldian International School, Mr. Ko, asks him to find a missing painting, supposedly of great value. At the same time, Marina is hired by the ambassador of the fictional Middle East republic Eldia to protect his daughter Mayako from terrorists. Switching between Kojiroh and Marina, the player gradually finds out the connection between the two cases and plunges deeper into a mystery that involves political struggle, scientific discoveries, and horrifying murders.
