Emio – The Smiling Man: Famicom Detective Club is a captivating thriller for the Nintendo Switch. In this game, you play as a private detective investigating the tragic murder of a junior high school student named Eisuke Sasaki. The victim was found dead with a smiley-faced paper bag over his head, reminiscent of an urban legend about a killer known as Emio, the Smiling Man. The game tasks you with unmasking the truth behind this dark mystery, exploring connections to unsolved murders from 18 years ago. Interview classmates, gather leads, and use your detective instincts to crack the case.

Honestly Nintendo FDC has been around probably before the Satellite view days. So I would checkout the SNES ( SFC ) translated first before head-diving in this. In fact I believe the series might even be on the NDS and 3DS. I like these "Comic-Adventure" "Point N Click" games. PSX has a couple of "Digital Devil" spin-off that plays like this game include a horror variant where you have to run away from some kind of alien. I think "Ace Attorney" brought interest back the series/genre as a PCE game port of a detective game was also remade.
If you like those kinds of games you checkout "DreamFall", "Metal Slader Glory", "Mio", and "Phantasy Star Adventure" ( Mio for the Gamegear ).
