Ever stumbled into a weird, obscure NES detective game that feels like a fever dream? That’s Satsui no Kaisou for you. It’s one of those Japan-only releases where you’re thrown into a murder mystery with zero hand-holding—just cryptic clues, odd dialogue choices, and the constant fear of picking the wrong option and getting a game over.

The vibe is somewhere between a visual novel and an old-school adventure game, but with that janky NES translation charm. You’ll interrogate suspects, poke around crime scenes, and hope you’re not missing some tiny pixel that’s the key to progressing. It’s frustrating in that classic retro way, but weirdly compelling if you’re into offbeat detective stuff.

Fair warning: unless you’re fluent in moon logic or have a guide handy, expect to hit dead ends. Still, there’s something about its eerie atmosphere and sheer obscurity that makes it stick in your head.
