The Girl Who Wasn't There
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux
The Girl Who Wasn't There is a visual novel and the second volume of The Mysteries of Ranko Togawa series.
It's been a while since Ranko and Astrid solved their first case aboard the Marine Express submarine train and their life seemed to have returned to normal, but things don't always turn out the way one expects. After the arrival of a mysterious new student to her class at the prestigious St. Joachim's Academy, Ranko is faced with a new conundrum when she finds an injured girl in the hallways in the middle of the night. However, once she returns with help, the girl has disappeared. What could have happened to her?
The two friends begin an investigation to unravel the mystery but, as is often the case, things soon become complicated. Testimonies and rumors will lead them into St. Joachim's darkest secrets, some of which could put their lives in real danger if they are not careful about the decisions they make. Help Ranko follow the right clues and expose the twisted reality that lies beneath the apparent normality of the academy.
Note: The current demo is only a preview in novelized format to show the prologue of the story and is only offered for promotional purposes. Like the first volume, the final version of this game will have an ADV format with the following features:
FEATURES

► Updated retro-style graphics reminiscent of the old Japanese text adventures.
► New cast of charismatic characters with humorous dialogues.

I just finished the Playstation port of Murder on the Marine Express, and I'm glad to see you are making a second Ranko Togawa game! I'll definitely be looking forward to it.
Refreshing story!!! Feels a bit out of tune with who is who since it's been a while since I played Ranko Togawa! I still remember Ranko, Astrid, Haifa, and the Cat Trio (?) (and yes Mr. Brown)
I can't wait for the full release!!!
any android port plan?
Right now we have no plans to bring it to Android, but we'll definitely look into the options. We'd like it to be on as many platforms as possible. Our first adventure, Murder on the Marine Express, is available for Android on both Itch and Google Play.
