Famicom Tantei Club: Kieta Koukeisha - Zenpen

Famicom Tantei Club: Kieta Koukeisha: Zenpen is a text adventure set in a village haunted by a disturbing legend. After being found near a cliff by Amachi, the protagonist discovers that he has amnesia. A young girl later reveals that he is an assistant detective investigating the death of Kiku Ayashiro.

The investigation leads to the Ayashiro estate, where rumors claim that the dead return to those who try to steal the family’s fortune. As the case develops, a possible connection emerges between the legend and a series of killings in the village.
