Your Way Into the Cathedral Trial
Read the Disorder, Not the Testimony
A witness is only as reliable as the condition warping them. Identify whose disorder is active in a room before deciding whether a statement is a lie or an impossibility.
Treat Debate Mode as a Clock
Accept or refute in real time and back it with the right clue. Hesitating loses the exchange, so commit on the first contradiction instead of hunting for a perfect one.
Notice What Is Missing
Spatial neglect deletes one half of a room and prosopagnosia deletes faces. If the scene looks incomplete, that is the puzzle rather than a rendering problem.
Track Motive, Not Alibi
When perception cannot be trusted, who benefits from a distorted scene is a stronger thread than who claims to have been where.

What Is Psycho-Sleuth?
Psycho-Sleuth is a psychological mystery visual novel from PHOSEPO, the five-person team behind Rail of Mobius, published by Thermite Games and Smilegate STOVE. It launched for PC on November 5, 2026 across Steam, STOVE and the Epic Games Store.
A cult called Li has taken the world and set a simple trial: thirteen people with rare cognitive disorders are sealed in a gothic cathedral, and whoever kills without being caught ascends to godhood. The disorders are contagious and mechanically real, so investigation means learning each condition well enough to know what it hides, then arguing the case in Debate Mode.
