Detective Academy Chronicles is a management and development game in which players take the role of a principal and build a detective academy.
The player's goal is to train more great detectives and bring all criminals to justice.
But being good at solving cases doesn't necessarily mean you're good at running a business.
Nishino Chinatsu has the reputation of being a rising star in the detective world, one who makes criminals tremble with fear. Yet she is getting poorer by the day and struggling to make ends meet.
Just as she is about to become unable to afford the academy's janitors, a number of strange people suddenly appear around her.
They have impressive stats and straightforward motives: they're all there to investigate the academy that appeared out of nowhere.
They are even willing to work for free to disguise their intentions.
Nishino Chinatsu: .
To keep her free labor, she grabs a hoe and starts poaching people.
The more people she poaches, the better the academy does.
Nishino Chinatsu gradually understands everything.
So this is how you play a management game.

The Detective Academy makes a name for itself, becomes the media's latest darling, and earns a reputation as the bane of crime in Beika.
To keep this unknown force from getting in their way, various organizations decide to send undercover agents to find out what's going on.
The blond-haired Whiskey thinks the academy's administrator must be a mysterious figure with powerful forces hidden behind them.
The academy has all the proper documents, is completely legitimate, and does nothing but good deeds.
He had intended to gather a bit of information and fob the organization off, but after meeting the principal, he changed his mind.
The black-haired girl is pallid and delicate, looking utterly defenseless.
It's as if the slightest touch of darkness could swallow her whole.
He realizes he can't just phone it in. He has to gather more credible information to make sure no detail draws the organization's attention to the academy.
So when the organization asks him for an update, he has no choice but to reply: He needs to investigate further.
After hearing that a younger sorcerer had been saved from a Grade 1 cursed spirit by a girl, the two members of the self-proclaimed strongest duo, both still high schoolers, become curious.
The jujutsu world is looking to recruit them anyway, so they volunteer. But whenever they run into her, she's either at a crime scene or at a scene where a crime is about to happen. Before they can say much, the police surround them.
Then, one day, a cursed spirit appears at a crime scene. Thinking their chance has finally come, they watch as the girl facing the cursed spirit taps her cane against the ground.
In an instant, the cursed spirit and cursed energy vanish completely.
Their Six Eyes and Cursed Spirit Manipulation are rendered useless as well.
The girl puts her cane away and says coolly, "There's no place for supernatural phenomena at a crime scene."
The strongest one: Wow.
Before long, the various organizations realize that none of the undercover agents they've sent out have ever returned.
[Please Note]

2. All the student NPCs at the academy are fans of the principal, and some are disturbingly obsessive.
3. The heroine is powerful, a beautiful, sickly girl with high attack and low defense who likes to torment cursed spirits.
