The player takes control of Detective Itō Ayami (voiced by Asama Hikage) who is looking for her partner, Detective Kazuki Tanaka, that went missing during an investigation. The story can change significantly depending on the player's actions. During the exposition, Ayami falls victim to workplace drama, a steady mental decline, and an obsession over the events surrounding her partner's disappearance. She also comes into possession of a mask that, through events that are spoilers for the story, she believes to be critical in her mental and physical journey of finding and bringing back Tanaka at all costs. The end result is determined by the player's choices; an epilogue from Ayami ends the story before credits are presented. After the credits, two ghosts appear and speak to each other, philosophically debating and reflecting on the choices Ayami—the player—made. It ultimately reveals to the player that all endings in the game are valid and true, but only one of them is canonical. The ghosts then leave after noting that the cycle perpetuates once more.

The game is a point-and-click adventure game. The game's store page on Steam describes the gameplay as "the exploration, discovery and puzzle solving found in Point and Click Adventures married with narrative depth and intrigue of visual novels."

The game was funded via Kickstarter. The goal of the campaign was 40,000 CAD and was surpassed with a total of 225.000 CAD. The game features an original soundtrack by Reign of Fury front man Matt 'Bison' Steed. The animated sequences were produced by Graphinica, while the Japanese novelist Ureshino Kimi was responsible for the Japanese localization. A port of the game to Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4 in Japan was announced in August 2018 by Unties. The port will be developed by mebius. The new release, titled Tokyo Dark: Remembrance, includes additional content, new endings, and a full German translation. The Nintendo Switch version was released on November 7, 2019, while the PlayStation 4 version followed on January 10, 2020.
