Thank you, Mr. Sakamoto!

If you're really into visual novels and detective games, Famicom Detective Club is exactly what you want. It kept me going until the very end both times, and had me speculating right along with the protagonist. This game definitely deserves the reputation it has, and if you like anything like Ace Attorney or Danganronpa this is worth picking up.

If it's not your kinda thing I wouldn't recommend it, of course. But it's a prime example as to why this genre works. I expected it to be shorter, but it was the perfect length.

The presentation is basically an interactive anime, and I'd love to see it adapted to that medium, or even another game. It's never too late for a 3rd chapter to the Famicom Detective Club.
