Mississippi Satsujin Jiken is one of those weird, obscure NES games that feels like stumbling into a time capsule. It's a Japanese murder mystery adventure where you play as a detective trying to solve a crime in—you guessed it—Mississippi. The whole thing's in Japanese, so unless you're fluent or patient with guides, expect some guesswork.

At first, it plays like a classic point-and-click, but with that clunky NES-era menu navigation. You interview suspects, poke around crime scenes, and piece together clues. The atmosphere's oddly charming, with pixelated southern gothic vibes and a soundtrack that somehow makes banjos sound ominous. Not gonna lie, the language barrier makes it rough, but if you're into retro oddities, it's a fascinating little relic.

Definitely not for everyone, but there's something weirdly compelling about its janky, lost-in-translation mystery.
