I actually played one of the PC games for an hour or so. It's basically a visual novel with gameplay akin to Jake Hunter: Detective Chronicles, but with a much faster pace and elements of hidden-object every now and again.

A glooming peace this morning with it brings;
The sun, for sorrow, will not show his head:
Go hence, to have more talk of these sad things;
Some shall be pardon'd, and some punished:
For never was a story of more woe
Than this of Sega and her Mashiro.
