Play Dokidoki Majo Shinpan! (MLGB) (J) Online

Dokidoki Majo Shinpan! is one of those weirdly charming DS games that makes you go, "Wait, what?" at first glance. You play as a witch hunter—disguised as a transfer student—who has to sniff out witches hiding in a regular high school. The catch? You "investigate" by... tapping and rubbing the touchscreen in all sorts of questionable ways. Yeah, it’s as awkward as it sounds, but somehow it works.

The game mixes visual novel-style dialogue with these bizarre mini-games where you poke around for witch marks (think suspicious moles or oddly shaped birthmarks). There’s a surprising amount of strategy—accuse the wrong girl, and you’ll get slapped with detention instead of uncovering the real witch. The writing’s got this goofy, self-aware humor that keeps it from taking itself too seriously.

It’s definitely not for everyone, but if you like offbeat Japanese games with a dash of absurdity, this one’s a hidden gem. Just maybe play it with headphones on.
