Play Deja Vu (Japan) Online
Waking up in a bloody bathroom with no memory, you’re rummaging through dumpsters and interrogating shady characters in 1940s Chicago—one wrong move and you’re dead, usually in some stupid way. The pixelated noir vibe hits just right, especially when you realize too late that stamp you just swallowed had a clue on it.
Deja Vu, released by Kemco for the Nintendo Entertainment System in 1988, is a point and click adventure game that stands out among the platform's action heavy library. It places you in the shoes of a hard boiled amnesiac detective trying to clear his name in a gritty, noir inspired version of 1940s Chicago. The game's focus on methodical investigation and puzzle solving offered a different kind of challenge for NES owners accustomed to faster paced titles.
You control private investigator Theodore "Ace" Harding, clicking a magnifying glass cursor to examine your surroundings, collect items, and converse with a cast of suspicious characters. Your main objective is to uncover the truth behind a murder you're framed for, all while managing your health and avoiding fatal mistakes. Signature mechanics include a detailed inventory system where you must combine items to progress and a first person exploration view that reveals the environment screen by screen. The pacing is deliberate, and the difficulty is unforgiving; one wrong decision or missed clue can lead to an abrupt game over. Piecing together the mystery through careful observation and logical deduction creates a uniquely immersive and tense experience.
