Play Meitantei Conan - Karakuri Jiin Satsujin Jiken (japan) Online

I picked up Meitantei Conan - Karakuri Jiin Satsujin Jiken for the Game Boy Color back around its 2000 release. It was published by Bandai, one of the many companies putting out licensed games for the handheld during that era. This was a time when you'd find all sorts of anime adaptations on the GBC, and this one fit right in, offering a portable mystery for fans of the series.

In the game, you control Conan Edogawa, the young detective. Your main objective is to solve a murder case inside a mechanical temple by exploring the environment screen by screen. You talk to a cast of suspects, searching each room for clues and items that can be used to progress or trigger new dialogue. The core mechanics involve combining evidence in your inventory to form conclusions and presenting that evidence to characters when you confront them. The pacing is deliberate, requiring careful observation, and some puzzles can be tricky without thorough exploration. It feels like piecing together a small, interactive mystery novel in your hands.
