A retro murder mystery inspired by greats like Famicom Detective Club and Portopia Serial Murder Case, Retro Mystery Club Vol.1 had us hooked from the very beginning. This game's incredibly faithful, almost to a fault: like Portopia, there will be times where you're mashing the same menu verbs again and again, hoping to move forward, stuck in a rut until you remember the one thing you haven't yet tried. But in spite of that, it's a satisfying little mystery, one that genuinely surprised us at times.

Give it a shot! And maybe leave a review on the Steam page after you do: it's currently hovering around 6-7 reviews, which we hope doesn't discourage the publisher from localizing the other two games in this series.
