Famicom Detective Club: The Missing Heir – Review

This is the weakest one by far. You have two sexual predator old men. Kumada (the doctor) being a pedophile. He’s already way older than her and he lusts after her picture when she’s 16. If he was a minor character it’d be easy for forget, but he’s not. Heikichi lusts after a married woman (Yukiko). It’s like every man in this game is a fucking sexual stalker. The only one that isn’t is the main perpetrator. Even the main character has a few comments, which is gross when you have to play him. √Letter is worse however. I’ve already started playing Emio and yeah, it doesn’t stop here.

The story also feels like it just takes to much time to get anywhere. It DOES suffer from the other games “Ask the same thing multiple times.  Ask other things you’ve asked before multiple times and then go back to the other stuff you’ve asked.” You go to places, especially the Clifftop, where you gain nothing but have to go there anyways. Women in this are to look pretty, die, be moms and die, or pine after a man. And Yukiko, the one pining after a man? We don’t even get closure on her story, you have to just imagine it. And yes we do have all the pieces for a conclusion.

Especially has the: Try an option you’d never think to try because you never had to use it in that way until now. Which can make you think you are soft locked.

Ultimately the story is weak, you don’t feel bad for the people that died. The killer has a lot of sympathy GIVEN what the family did.
