Blood Opera Crescendo combines the classic investigative mechanics of series like Ace Attorney with a strong atmosphere where the elegance of classical music and gory horror elements blend together into a unique setting: the Austria of the 18th century and the baroque style of the period which set the dramatic backdrop of a sordid tale of sin and murder. 

The game is also inspired by the Persona franchise: in the role of orchestra director and skilled composer Heinrich Steiner, you will face interrogations and misdirections while trying to uncover the secret behind a bloody trail of gruesome murders.  

Year 17XX - Austria: former orchestra conductor Heinrich Steiner accidentally discovers the horribly mutilated corpse of an unknown person into the local theater. Someone turned that body into a working musical instrument. Heinrich, a passionate musical composer, is stunned: how can someone create something like this? Obsessed with the murderer and his musical skills, Heinrich is going to discover a tremendous truth hidden behind the luxurious curtain that covers the entire city. Who is the killer? Why is he doing all this? And more importantly: will Heinrich be able to discover his identity without being killed?

Blood Opera Crescendo is trying to "break the limits" of RPG Maker, offering improved graphics, a deep story and game mechanics inspired from series like Ace Attorney. During the game you will face interrogations and misdirections: if failed, they will lead to game over. Unlike other "classic" adventure games, in Blood Opera Crescendo you can fail and the world is dangerous.
