Ivory Tower Series Event: Celebration Gone Awry
Ribbons flutter in the breeze, and balloons drift into the sky! The return of the anniversary celebration has briefly lifted Demori Academy out of the shadow of the Clock Tower Fire, bringing long-missed laughter back to the halls. Determined to win the club competition, the members of the Detective Club are working tirelessly to handle the steady stream of cases!
Among the many cases, a series of thefts has caught the Detective Club's attention. The appearance of multiple "crime declarations" suggests that this prank may be more complicated than it seems. A cursed ore, a ghostly figure wandering through the library, and a witness rendered unconscious in an accident gradually push the lively celebration toward chaos.
Complete daily check-ins, participate in story events, and dispatch club members during the Anniversary Celebration to earn Portraits, a Portrait Frame, Graffiti, Character Posters, and more!
The first six chapters and daily check-ins will unlock after maintenance on September 3. One chapter will unlock each day.
The remaining chapters and the Club Management minigame will unlock after maintenance on September 10.
