Villa Courtyard: Investigation Gameplay[edit | edit source]
On a snowy winter night, an imposing old manor stands silently in the mountains.
Mevis Zeng, an antique magnate who had rarely been in the spotlight for many years, is planning to host and magnificent treasure auction in this mysterious old manor.
Entrepreneurs, celebrities, small-town residents, tabloid journalists, doctors, academics...
And many seemingly unrelated guests have gathered here for this event. What has attracted all of them to come?
Suddenly, an ear-piercing scream breaks the calm. An accident has happened right before the guests' eyes. Is the legend of the soul-reaping snow beast a truth? Or has someone meticulously planned out this murder?
The snow storm becomes heavier, separating the villa from the rest of the world. What secrets are hidden in this old manor?
And where will the investigation lead the NXX team...?
There are a total of 4 buildings in the Villa Courtyard. Each building has 5 levels. Players are required to team up with NXX members to complete all levels. Each building includes several of the following puzzles. Complete collections to receive 
S-Chip x20 for each building. Achieve 100% exploration of the Villa Courtyard to obtain S-Chip x40.
TIP: Some levels are tougher than the others. Players are recommended to complete all levels before returning to the individual buildings to collect the artifacts, keys, and silk pouches.
