summary: It’s raining, again. The stench of death hangs over the bridge, heavy and cloying, clinging to the metal railings. Propped up against them, staring at Shinichi with unseeing eyes, is the body of the woman he’s been searching for: Miura Aiko. She’s been missing for three weeks, haunting the edges of Shinichi’s vision, but finding her now is a hollow victory. Especially like this, with horror stamped across her pale features.

The year is 2156, and Tokyo has succumbed to the rising tides of global warming; in a near-future ocean metropolis made of boats and bridges, Shinichi is a private detective about to hit his biggest case. A serial killer is on the loose, and when Shinichi begins to investigate those involved, all signs point to the government building that might maintain all levels, even those beneath the surface. When intel surfaces that the towers may host human experimentation, Shinichi can't idly sit by. To break into such a high-security place, he will need help from a mysterious thief known only as The Diver.
