Players command up to three Digimon at a time in turn-based battles, choosing between basic attacks and special skills, each with their own attributes and potential status effects. Yet battling other Digimon lies at the core of the gameplay, and is easily Cyber Sleuth's most addictive facet. Cyber Sleuth is largely the story of its human protagonists, which is slightly disappointing for someone hoping to spend the bulk of their time with the Digimon. Using the power afforded to them by their new body, the player character becomes just that - a cyber sleuth, a junior detective aiming to rise up the ranks and figure out what's really going down online.Īlthough Digimon play a crucial role in solving these central mysteries, for a while the characters mostly take on a supporting role in the plot. Others affected by the strange virus enter into a coma the protagonist instead turns into a hybrid digital/physical being, allowing them special access to the online world.ĭiscovering the cause behind these dilemmas sets Cyber Sleuth's plot into motion. This becomes useful when the player character falls victim to a mysterious syndrome afflicting users of the EDEN forum. The silent male or female protagonist accidentally joins that latter group, along with a group of online friends, and is granted a special power: the ability to tame Digimon.
The central story begins in the digital community of EDEN, which serves as a high-tech forum of sorts, home to typical internet commenters and highly skilled hackers alike. Cyber Sleuth stars a set of human leads whose trials are both virtual and emotional.
