   From that description it sounds like there's not much to like but you'll find yourself weirdly compelled to move forward thanks to the plots and the odd sense of satisfaction when you best the game at its confusing little battles of whit. Well worth checking out for something different and great stories.… Expand

   The character sprites and animations are fabulous. I loved them. The characters felt lively. The voiceover was great and it made the repeated dialogues a lot less frustrating.
   
   I'm bit mixed on the story progression method and the UI. I understand that it's a remake of an old game and they wanted to keep the (quote on quote) gameplay aspect. I had to click the same dialogue option to find one menu command that would let me proceed in the story and it was oftentimes frustrating. I do think that they could have done a lot better if they decided to stray away from that old gameplay. It's really a dilemma in any remakes. I've had this question on 'what makes a good remake' ever since Link's Awakening came out, and I'm having the same question with this game too. Still, in my opinion, the gameplay has aged quite badly, but the devs tried to improve on it as best as they could without changing too much of it, and I was able to see that during my playthrough.
   
   There's no auto skip/advance on the dialogues, and I don't know why they chose not to include it. It's a norm to include auto-progression in any games with long dialogues, including RPGs, and it was a bit tiresome to click the A buttons way too many times while I just wanted to read the scripts.
   
   I don't quite get why they didn't program the use of touch screens for investigations. I liked clicking random things with my stylus on Professor Layton or Pheonix Wright. It was a bit disappointing that I couldn't do that in this game.
   
   The story was well fleshed out, while it was somewhat predictable. However given that the game is from the 1980s, I can understand that the trope the story uses became kind of old. Still, it's quite a murder mystery and has stood its age relatively well, better than I expected it to.
   
   I personally can't stop thinking that the ios or android version would have been more suited for this game. I normally hate mobile ports of console games (like, square enix should stop doing their terrible mobile ports), but VN is just one genre that I think is better suited on mobile than home consoles since I can lie down on my bed and just read through the story, requiring minimal player input. Even the length would be perfect for a mobile port since the game lasts less than 10 hours to complete. The mobile version may simplify the animations and the sceneries, but I really don't think this would hurt my experience.
   
   It's a real nice remake. I liked it. But the problem is that it WAS a remake. I can see that the devs were constrained by its original release. Be ready to pull out of walkthroughs from progression blocks. But otherwise, enjoyable experience and a nice murder mystery.… Expand

   After 30 years of being locked in Japan, Nintendo has remade and released the Famicom Detective Club games stateside giving a chance to tryAfter 30 years of being locked in Japan, Nintendo has remade and released the Famicom Detective Club games stateside giving a chance to try their only murder-mystery visual novels to date. These games (made by the creator of Metroid) were a wonderful ride with beautiful visuals, an amazing soundtrack that is worth pausing to jam out to, and two incredible stories filled with twists and turns all the way to the very end. Each journey tells a very different type of story, this one a series of mysteries and several murders along the way. Both hint at supernatural elements, overturn theories you may have come with along the way, and save the biggest plot twists for the final hours. Never at any point were these games predictable, and even if you can guess some things, you can never guess everything and it's a great feeling.
   
   These games are not perfect, as they're very faithful remakes that sometimes make the greatest challenge of the game just trying to play it. You'll have to mash the same prompts over and over, check random things, then try prompts again... It's frustrating, and sometimes finding a guide is the only practical solution. But even with those frustrations aside, seeing the groundwork that would inspire games like Phoenix Wright was an absolute joy, and a must play for fans of murder mysterious that keep you on the edge or your seat, visual novels that seemingly come to life with flawless uses of the environments, or really anyone who wants to experience a lost piece of Nintendo history, these are definitely worth picking up as a bundle. I'll always remember my time with these games fondly, and I'm certain I'll find myself listening to the soundtrack on more than one occasion.… Expand

   The characters and animations somehow look like a flash game vector animation despite being 3D, I think this is because of choppy animation and robotic like movements.
   The use of inclusive language in places where is not needed is just annoying.
   There's a delay between the menus appearing and being ready to use that is just annoying, also the save game feature is called "quit investigation", not a very intuitive name.
   the story is just OK (not bad, not great), but at many points the player has to use a slow cursor to poke around the screen or select random commands just to guess how to continue.… Expand
