The core gameplay revolves around deduction, deception and social manipulation. You’re either Light trying to uncover 𝕷’s identity or Ryuzaki trying to expose Kira, all while navigating a group of characters who can turn on you at any moment. The game plays out in phases; investigation, where you discuss clues and build trust or sow suspicion among characters; voting, where you convince others to vote out your target; and post-voting, as Kira, you can kill someone you think is 𝕷; while as 𝕷, you get one free guess to confirm if someone's Kira.  

The real meat of the game is in the arguments and rebuttals. Every character has trust and suspicion meters and your goal is to manipulate these to control the group's decisions. Kira's advantage? If someone trusts you 100% they’ll leak info about who 𝕷 might be. 𝕷's advantage? He can check someone postvoting to see if they're Kira.  

The tension comes from participation points, your stamina for arguments. Run out and you're forced to pass. Screw up as Kira (killing the wrong person) or L (jailing the wrong person), and your max points get slashed, making future turns harder. It's a brutal but satisfying system, every move matters.  

The story mode is loosely canon, playing out like a what if version of the manga's events. The Task Force plays a literal Kira Game as a training exercise, which somehow bleeds into real life investigations. Highlights include Naomi Misora accusing Light to his face, Misa randomly announcing her engagement to Light way too early and a bonus chapter where 𝕷 deduces the 13-Day Rule is fake. It's not deep lore, but it's a fun excuse to pit characters against each other in ways the manga and the anime never did.
