About
Several diaries gradually reveal the thrilling story of a missing case; after multiple deductions, are the answers in the past or present? With frequent plot twists, you never know which is the truth and which is the unexpected; in a dense fog, time buries the past, but the marks remain.
What is happening now
The Diary is a puzzle game released on PC and Mac in June 2025. The indie title has recently become tangentially relevant to a broader legal discussion when a European court ruling addressed the lawfulness of VPNs in the context of copyright disputes - a case that happened to reference Anne Frank's historical diary as part of its examination of intellectual property law. While the ruling itself concerns matters well beyond the game's scope, the coverage suggests the intersection of technology, law, and historical subject matter has drawn some attention to how these topics intersect in digital spaces.
