# Poisoned Path > About: Can a poisonous path lead you to a new life? Can a broken bond be mended? Perhaps the bad guys aren't as bad as you think, and the heroes aren't as good as they seem. You think you know your closest friends, but the person you know as your enemy may be your savior. Story: Rinako Kurosawa had no idea that the evening she wanted to surprise her family would be a night that would completely change the course of her life. An argument between her father and brother leads to the complete breakdown of her family. Her brother leaves home, and a mysterious traffic accident takes her mother and father from her. When the authorities were helpless, she decided to risk her life and became a police detective. Unaware that this decision would turn her entire reality upside down, one morning the task assigned to her turned her newly established life into a lie: “Infiltrate the yakuza leader's gang, gain their trust, and bring down the organization. Even if you can't bring them down, gather information and report it to the government.” Will he emerge from the lies and darkness into the light? Or will he sink deeper into the swamp? Who knows? Would you like to find out with him? Key Features: Branching Storyline: Your choices fundamentally affect not only the dialogue, but also the course and ending of the game.
