Independent developer Hyogo Onimushi had to publicly address a misunderstanding, or rather, a curious fact on the part of fans, on social media. Many players noticed similarities between his game , Return to Shironagasu Island , and the real-life Jeffrey Epstein island case . However, Onimushi categorically denied any inspiration from the scandal.

Thus, the author explained that the title emerged long before the news broke worldwide. While the Epstein case gained momentum in 2019, the first version of the game debuted at Comiket in 2017. Therefore, any similarity in the dark themes is purely chronological coincidence.
In this point-and-click mystery , we follow a detective and a brilliant young woman on an isolated island. Furthermore, the game's success is absolute, with over 210,000 copies sold. Currently, the game has "Very Positive" ratings on Steam . Thus, Onimushi remains focused on producing a sequel, ignoring unfounded comparisons.
