Parascientific Escape: Gear Detective

Parascientific Escape: Gear Detective is a visual novel adventure game developed by Intense, and the second entry in the Parascientific Escape trilogy. It was originally released in Japan as 超科学脱出：ギア・ディテクティブ (Chou Kagaku Dasshutsu: Gear Detective; lit. "Super Science Escape: Gear Detective") by Intense, before being published and localized under it's English title by Circle Entertainment, and released in North America and Europe. It is a sequel to the first entry, Cruise in the Distant Seas, and was followed by the third and final entry, Crossing at the Farthest Horizon.

The game takes place in the early summer following the events of Cruise in the Distant Seas, yet follows a new protagonist with a separative narrative. Kyosuke Ayana is a private detective with an artificial arm and eye that turn him into a psychic. He is hired by a young woman to find the culprit behind a serial killing occurring in Camellia Hills, who is apparently now targeting her, and uncovers a larger story hidden beneath the surface of the case.
