Idk if I'm just stupid, or if an open ended structure for an adventure game like this is a terrible idea. I hope one day I can come back to this game to confirm the former...

Also wtf why is the description completely wrong? God, whoever's writing these descriptions on IGDB needs to not just step up their game, but try doing a 2 second search on Google. Yeah, I've written my own bare-bones description for a game, but it was literally a Japan exclusive fan game made by one guy that like, 3 people know about. This is a remake for a fairly important adventure game with massive notable changes. And to give it a single sentence that's completely false is ignorant, idiotic, and asinine. Imagine if the description for Mega Man 1 was actually describing the Wily Wars version... of Mega Man 3

Gets obtuse at times but I had more fun with it than I thought, esp considering I got this loose as a freebie with my TG-CD drive

Really engaging plot, surprisingly good voice acting. Probably one of the best games in this genre, very impressive for the time.

For an 80s game this was really ahead of it's time with the interrogation, the investigating mechanics, and with voice acting. The bad things about this game is that you must do a certain thing to continue to the game, also the interrogation is really tedious asking the people the same things to get a tiny progress. But the mystery of the game is good. The more you investigate this murder the more you realize there's more underneath this crime.
