Play Another Time, Another Leaf - Kagami No Naka No Tantei (JP) Online

Another Time, Another Leaf is one of those DS detective games that really leans into the mystery—like, you’re not just solving crimes, you’re piecing together fragments of reality. The whole thing starts with this eerie mirror motif, and before you know it, you’re flipping between timelines, talking to witnesses, and scribbling notes like an actual detective. The puzzles aren’t just "find the hidden object" busywork either—some of them actually make you stop and think.

It’s in Japanese, so unless you’re fluent, you’ll need a translation guide (or a lot of patience). But if you’re into slow-burn mysteries with a surreal edge, it’s weirdly absorbing. The music’s got this haunting piano loop that sticks with you, too. Just don’t expect fast-paced action—it’s more about the atmosphere and untangling the story.
