Beginner Basics & Launch Prep

Silver Palace launches globally on December 14, 2026 for PC, PS5, iOS and Android. Before launch, get these done:

• Pre-register on the official site or app stores to lock in milestone rewards (a new 4-star character, 20 Deduction Bullets and more).
• PC players: check your rig against the spec sheet below and clear 90 GB of SSD space (beta figures — subject to change).
• Follow official channels for pre-load notices; major updates usually support pre-downloading.
• All tests so far have been data-wipe builds — nothing carries over to launch.

These are the official Dichotomy Beta PC requirements; launch specs may differ. Console and mobile specs are not yet published. Use our Tools page spec checker for a quick verdict.

Combat: Parry · Groggy · Execution

Combat uses a four-character real-time swap system. Each unit has a distinct combat style; swapping chains skills, triggers combos and sets up swap ambushes at the right moment.

• Perfect Parry: block at the moment of impact to chip enemy poise and open a counter window.
• Perfect Dodge: grants brief invulnerability — the high-risk, high-reward alternative.
• Stun / Groggy: sustained offense fills the stun gauge; a full gauge leaves enemies defenseless.
• Execution: a high-damage finisher on groggy enemies — your main burst against bosses.
• Silverdrip: stacks built in combat that charge swap-ambush skills, rewarding party rotation.

The Detective's Gravitas: the protagonist's damage scales with investigation progress — case objectives, hidden evidence and moral choices all feed a persistent passive bonus. Ranged shots apply Gravitas marks that detonate when partners trigger elemental resonance.

Team logic: a Guardian (e.g. Gratia) anchors the frontline and opens windows → the Detective applies Gravitas marks → Ignis burst units (Cinderella / Cynthia II) finish during groggy windows. Numbers will shift at launch.

Investigation: Gaze · Clue Board · Mind Palace

Investigation is what sets Silver Palace apart. A case typically flows: scene survey → evidence gathering → interrogations → deduction → accusation — and your judgement genuinely steers the outcome.

• Gaze mode: scan environments and crowds to expose disguises and hidden traces.
• Clue board: drag evidence and testimony onto the board and build the links yourself — one case, many possible chains of logic.
• Mind Palace: reconstruct the crime and replay the timeline to verify your reasoning.
• Deep Thinking: a deduction mode for multi-clue puzzles, eliminating wrong paths step by step.
• Interrogation & trait charts: NPCs have trait tables — pick the right dialogue tactics to crack them.
• Stealth investigation: tail and photograph suspects without raising alert levels.

Wrong accusations don't fail the case — they branch the story. Multiple endings are a core selling point.

City Life & Mini-Games

Silvernia is a fully vertical city: grappling hooks, silver rails and ascenders weave a 3D traversal network; ride the mechanized Silverium Pegasus above the rooftops, while trams and the Leviathan airship handle long distances.

• Mini-games: chess duels, card games, a surgery mini-game and urban horse racing were all playable in the beta.
• Business play: run a café and collect rent on property for steady income.
• Random events: street exploration triggers encounters and hidden branches, some tied to faction reputation.

Gacha Outlook (Leaks · Unverified)

As of October 2026 the monetization system has not been shown officially. The points below come from community datamines and beta file leaks — treat them strictly as rumors until confirmed.

• The gacha system is reportedly codenamed "Mind Invasion"; weapons are called "Motives".
• Leaks suggest a limited character banner ("Scrutiny Bullet") with ~120-pull hard pity and a weapon ("Insight Bullet") banner with ~80-pull pity.
• The standard banner ("Constant Bullet") is expected to hold 4-star units like Argos, Firtho, Lorin and Alf.
• Reported currencies: Philosopher's Stone (premium), Reactor Crystals (event exchange), Mind Fragments (duplicate 5★ conversion).
• Reported rates: ~0.8% five-star per ten-pull, ~13% four-star — none of this is confirmed.

Confirmed pre-registration rewards: 1 new 4-star character and 20 Deduction Bullets — the latter looks like a gacha currency usable at launch.
