Not usually a visual novel guy and I was expecting more puzzles, but this was a game from the 80s so maybe i was expecting too much. Overall if you like really slow burn games with a decent story then you might like this one.

As for me i don't know think ill be playing the other Detective Famicom game anytime soon.

Has anyone checked either this game or the other Famicom Detective Club game out? They seem real weird and interesting. I kind of don't want to spend a bunch of money on them necessarily, but I don't know if I'll see a whole lot of people on this site talking about them to convince me to play them or not.
