Overview Hard to Love

You are the protagonist, a detective returning to your family’s luxurious mansion in Tokyo, where every relationship teeters on the edge between love and manipulation. Your sisters play dangerous games, your daughter sees too much, and your mother drowns in pills and memories. In a house where nothing is as innocent as it seems, every choice changes your connections—and your future.
