TOKYO, JAPAN — September 2026 — SuperPROTEIN Studios is excited to announce that Unmasked Truths: Shattered Dreams will be featured at Tokyo Game Show 2026, giving attendees the opportunity to experience the game’s playable demo and step into its deadly world of mystery, deception, and social deduction.
Inspired by beloved character-driven mystery and adventure games such as Danganronpa, AI: The Somnium Files, Persona 5, and Ace Attorney, Unmasked Truths: Shattered Dreams is a fully voiced murder mystery that blends visual novel storytelling with 3D exploration, investigation, player choice, trials, and character-driven minigames.
Set in the year 20XX, ten world-renowned experts embark on a journey into space to participate in an elite summer program operated by the world’s top governing authority. Their destination is a lavish Baroque-inspired space resort transformed into a college campus, where participants are challenged to prove themselves worthy of the exclusive title of World☆Class.
But their stay takes a deadly turn when they learn that only five will graduate with the coveted title — and their lives.
Players will rotate between members of the ensemble cast as they explore the campus, build relationships, investigate crime scenes, gather evidence, and confront one another in high-stakes trials to expose the truth. Every character is a potential victim. Every character is a potential suspect.
And the choices players make along the way can determine who survives.
