Umaban Club on Game Boy is one of those hidden gems that makes you wish more detective games had this much charm. You play as this rookie detective—think classic point-and-click vibes, but with that chunky pixel aesthetic only the Game Boy could pull off. The first case drops you in this weird little town where everyone’s got something to hide, and half the fun is just poking around, talking to folks who all have their own quirks.

It’s not just about finding clues—you actually have to piece things together yourself, which I love. No hand-holding here. One minute you’re digging through a suspect’s trash (glamorous, I know), the next you’re decoding some cryptic note left in a library book. The puzzles can get pretty clever, and the writing’s got this dry humor that keeps it from feeling too serious.

If you’re into old-school adventure games or just miss that grainy Game Boy atmosphere, this one’s a solid pick. Just don’t blame me when you lose track of time trying to crack the next case.
