Play BS Tantei Club - Yuki ni Kieta Kako - Chuuhen (Japan) Online

BS Tantei Club - Yuki ni Kieta Kako - Chuuhen came out for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System in 1998, published by Nintendo. It was part of the later wave of SNES releases, a time when many developers were still finding creative ways to use the hardware. This game is actually the middle chapter in a three part mystery series originally broadcast via satellite in Japan, which gives it a unique place in the console's library.

You control a young detective revisiting a cold case in a snowy mountain town, moving screen by screen to talk with locals and examine your surroundings. Your main goal is to gather evidence and testimony, often by presenting items or pressing witnesses on inconsistencies in their stories. The pacing is deliberate, almost slow; you need patience to notice small visual clues and parse sometimes vague dialogue. Progress depends on careful observation and logical deduction, making it feel like you are genuinely untangling a real investigation.
