PlayStation 4 Senri no Kifu: Modern Shogi Mystery

Will cold logic or a burning will prevail in this difficult position?

A mystery adventure of enigmas and human spirit set in the turbulent modern world of shogi.

After a long journey along the way of the board, people now stand at a crossroads...

The rise of artificial intelligence, dramatic change in the shogi world, and the arrival of new stars...

What are the shogi world's hidden mysteries called Senrigan—clairvoyance—and Kamikakushi—spiriting away?

This deduction mystery adventure dramatically depicts players' pressures and struggles, the depths of competitors who put everything into the board, and matches that leave you sweating with suspense.

The curtain rises on a dense story in which many different intentions intertwine in the modern shogi world.

The scenario is by Hidehisa Miyashita, who created the story of FolksSoul, known in English as Folklore.

Its moving music is by popular game composer Noriyuki Iwadare, familiar from Ace Attorney 3, 5 and 6 and Ace Attorney Investigations 1 and 2.

Alongside supervisor Michio Takahashi and assistant supervisor Manao Kagawa, many popular professional players appear in this substantially enhanced version of the original game, which won high praise from the shogi community.

With a new, extended scenario and substantial content including shogi lessons, it makes its long-awaited arrival on home consoles.

Part One

The shogi world faces a match of the century: an artificial intelligence and a human will compete for the Meijin title.

The intentions of many different people cross paths, and events eventually take an unexpected turn.

Part Two

As different factions struggle over the truth of that contest, Ayumi and her companions investigate an incident known in the shogi world as Kamikakushi.

Why did a promising player abandon his own path toward professional shogi and disappear?

The moment when the truth will be revealed draws closer with every passing second...
