Collar x Malice is an adventure visual novel for Nintendo Switch from Aksys Games, released in the USA on June 26, 2020. It supports English and Japanese language options.

Set in a fearful, dystopian Shinjuku, Tokyo, the game follows rookie police officer Ichika Hoshino after she survives an attack and wakes with a poisonous collar around her neck. Her fate becomes tied to the investigation of Adonis, a terrorist organization connected to the violent X-Day incidents.

A case with personal stakes

Ichika joins forces with five former police officers whose backgrounds and motives are not always clear. As the group pursues the truth behind Adonis, she must balance a dangerous investigation with relationships that can develop in different directions. The narrative combines conspiracy, crime, suspense, and romance.

Choice-driven visual novel gameplay

Reading dialogue and following the investigation form the core of Collar x Malice. Decisions shape events, affect relationships, and lead toward different routes and endings. Investigation scenes involve examining evidence, consulting notes, and reviewing character profiles to follow the case.

Pressure during key moments

Some scenes add immediate danger through timed Trigger Mode choices, where fast responses are required. Shooting mini-games also appear during critical situations. Revisiting choices and routes can reveal alternate outcomes, dialogue, and character-focused story paths.
