About 迷雾之夏-The Vigilant Villa
✦ AI summary
You play as Folmes, a mystery novelist investigating a series of deaths when ten strangers are mysteriously trapped in an isolated hilltop villa for seven days. This Japanese-style detective adventure stands out for its intricate web of hidden relationships, multiple storylines, and freedom to uncover clues at your own pace while unraveling a truth tied to lies, betrayal, and forgotten secrets.
1, About the storyThe Vigilant Villa is a suspenseful deduction game inspired by the classic “Stormy Hill” story model (a certain type in locked room mysteries). For seven days, ten guests are accidentally trapped in a hilltop villa, completely cut off from the outside world. A quirky villa with tulips in full bloom, an enthralling hymn ringing out at midnight......Right from the first suicide case, all guests are animals caught in an unseen snare.
These mysterious guests, who seem totally unacquainted in the first place, gradually reveal their intricate and secretive relationships; they also become so close to the obscure truth-- a truth related with their loved ones and rivals, their lies and betrayal-- who’ll be the blessed one at last then?
The gamer will play as a lesser-known novelist writing under a pseudonym-Folmes, a frantic fan of Sherlock Holmes. This time, Folmes is definitely offered a key role to uncover the dusty past and the real killer behind.

We are a group of enthusiasts of suspense stories, also producers behind The Vigilant Villa. Novels by Agatha Christine, Conan Doyle, Edgar Allan Poe and Ellery Queen always strike a strong chord with us; we lose ourselves in those enchanting worlds they created, imagining us as those protagonists--we are truly on the same journey of discovery with them.
We have to say inspirations gained from classic novels have given birth to The Vigilant Villa -the game itself is not only a tribute to classics, but also, let’s say, an innovative mystery that embraces diverse clues, story lines and ends.

[h1] You Need To E-Mail Devs To Get Last Achievement! [/h1] Short and sweet i will try to summarize the game for you. This is inspired by Agatha Christie "Then there were none" novel and you try to follow a well developed twist of the same. But, boy this is a very tough game if you are especially an achievement hunter. This game really has a lot of details you need to look out for, in terms of character relationships, and certain choices. There is also part HOG bits as well, as well as ciphering type of puzzles (Cesar and railroad cipher etc) I liked that there is a handful of characters with their own stories and there are so many twists and turns. There are also collectible based puzzles as well, which means you collect puzzle pieces throughout the game and you need to finish them to unlock special secret endings. It's also part RPG because you have a "detective lvl" the more you make correct deductions in timed, yes timed sequences where you need to present your findings and conclusions to the party. The story is pretty sinister and dark, its violent and has elements of abuse, human experimentation, psychiatric issues and a lot of secrets. After taking all endings of…16 found this helpful
Hope the devs are doing well, sad to see the game get delisted but things happer.6 found this helpful
The character backgrounds are well-developed, and the storyline is engaging. However, without watching the DLC story, it might be difficult to fully understand the main plot, as the DLC essentially serves as a prequel for the characters. To truly grasp the full narrative, it’s recommended to purchase both the main game and the DLC. The constant internet connection requirement is a major downside. Still, due to the strong storytelling and well-crafted characters, the game is worth experiencing for the narrative alone. With the game about to be delisted and no longer available for purchase, it raises the question of whether an offline mode will eventually be made available. However, since the servers have already been shut down and the game can no longer be accessed, it’s not recommended to buy it unless you're a collector. Передісторія персонажів добре продумана, а сюжет захоплює. Однак без ознайомлення з DLC може бути важко повністю зрозуміти основну історію, адже DLC фактично є передісторією персонажів. Щоб повною мірою зрозуміти сюжет, рекомендується придбати як основну гру, так і DLC. Постійна вимога підключення до Інтернету — суттєвий недолік. Та попри це, завдяки сильному сюж…1 found this helpful
The Vigilant Villa, developed by 知行合一 and published by 游艺春秋, is a mystery visual novel that draws heavy inspiration from classic locked-room detective stories. Rather than focusing on action or complex gameplay systems, it places its entire weight on storytelling, deduction, and character interaction. The result is an engaging narrative experience that successfully captures the tension and intrigue of traditional murder mysteries while giving players enough agency to feel directly involved in uncovering the truth. The story begins when ten strangers become trapped inside an isolated mountain villa after circumstances leave them cut off from the outside world. What initially seems like an inconvenient delay quickly turns into a nightmare when a suspicious death shatters any sense of security. As fear spreads among the guests, hidden secrets begin to surface, and every individual becomes both a potential victim and a potential suspect. The game effectively uses this confined setting to create an atmosphere of uncertainty where trust is fragile and every conversation may contain a clue or a lie. Players take on the role of a novelist with a strong fascination for detective work. Thi…
Noway this game is not available on Steam anymore. I had fun playing this detective game.
When I first started up the game a few weeks ago, it seemed fine, but I didn't have time to play it then. Now that I want to play it I can't get past the start screen. I click on start and it just makes noise. I can't get a refund because it's past the two week mark, and I don't know how to contact the developer. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling, as well as deleting all the file data, and it still doesn't work. The twenty minutes I've accumulated playing this game where just trying to get it to work. I'm disappointed I spent money on this game when I won't get to play it.
