《Hanareru Hitobito] (Japanese:去人たち）One of the Twelve Demonic Instruments of the G-BarIs a doujin circleK2ceeTeamAn experimental visual novel produced by the group, described as "school science fiction nonsensical style" or "psychoanalytic pure literature." This game tells the story of social and moral issues that artificial intelligence may bring from the perspective of an android. In the game, the protagonist serves as the chief of the Second Investigation Division of the Shemi Department, primarily responsible for investigating campus cases and resolving evil occurrences within the school. Starting from here, a series of cases and bizarre clues appear, allowing you to slowly unravel the truth behind the events while playing. In the later stages of the game, an explosion of information unfolds before you, bringing you infinitely close to the truth, yet forever unable to reach it.
The spin-off work "Kyojintachi 0 Div1" (离开的人们0 Div1) was originally planned to be released for free on Steam in the fall of 2022, but it failed to pass the review. Currently, the Steam store page has been closed, and K2cee has announced that they will no longer list old works, including this one, on the Steam platform.[1]。

【Kyojintachi I】
Houjaku High School is one of the few schools in the prefecture with a high university entrance rate. It takes student discipline as its primary tenet, thoroughly implementing a philosophy of self-discipline. Houjaku High School must be a flawless high school. Having entered the "all-entry era" of universities, the gap between schools is becoming smaller and smaller. However, Houjaku High School, with its high entrance rate and elegant atmosphere, has become a leader among many schools.
However, this is definitely not its true face. Within the school, there exists an organization called the Shemi Department, which handles all scandals related to the school, both inside and outside. They resolve all incidents within the school before the police do (or rather, to prevent these incidents from leaking out): from minor matters like theft to death incidents, murders, and disappearances, they cover almost everything. The Shemi Department possesses such power. As for why they have such power, that is not something a mere investigator can know.
The chief of the Second Division of the Public Security Bureau of the Shemi Department—who is also the protagonist of our story—became an "undercover investigator" within the school at the age of 18. Normally, he attends school like any other student of his age, but among his duties is a very important task: "preventing trouble before it happens," which means nipping subtle, abnormal movements in the bud.
This is an incident that occurred in a certain autumn. The protagonist begins to investigate this incident, and our story begins here...
The protagonist drives the development of the story. However, this development points toward a certain truth known as crime. Thus, the protagonist feels something is amiss. Why? The protagonist himself does not know. The protagonist begins to contemplate the self that he does not know. The protagonist begins to realize the truth of the incident, as well as the poison contained within...
[Kyojintachi II]
Time returns to that autumn, when incidents that caused public outcry occurred one after another in society. In winter, someone committed suicide by jumping into the sea; an elementary school girl committed suicide by hanging in a classroom. In winter, a male middle school student drowned in a swimming pool. A man in his twenties attacked a pedestrian and gouged out their eyes. Faced with such various behaviors, people gave them a name: Baroque Syndrome. The Chief of the Second Investigation Section of the Security Bureau of the Shemi Department couldn't help but feel some disgust toward these public opinions.
At this time, a kitten kept in the animal hutch of Houjaku High School was killed. The Chief of the Second Investigation Section of the Security Bureau of the Shemi Department and his subordinate Tatsuo began to investigate the incident together.
