About this game

Famicom Tantei Club Part II: Ushiro ni Tatsu Shoujo - Kouhen is the second game in Nintendo’s Famicom Tantei Club series and a prequel to Famicom Tantei Club: Kieta Kokeisha.

The graphic-adventure gameplay presents menu-based commands for interacting with characters and the environment, examining clues, and reviewing facts. The story centers on two cases: the murder of a schoolgirl investigating her school’s ghost story and an older murder nearing legal expiration.
