Set in a post-World War II Japan during 1956, Kara no Sh?jo's story revolves around Reiji Tokisaka, a private investigator who is investigating a series of grotesque murders on the request of his former colleague, Kyozo Uozumi of the Tokyo metropolitan police force. The murders are reminiscent of another string of serial murders that occurred six years ago prior to the game where Reiji lost his fiancée, which drives him with a strong desire to solve this case.
