Criminal mindgames.

<span class="bold">The Silver Case</span>, a crime adventure/visual novel steeped in mystery and political intrigue, is fully remastered and available now, DRM-free on GOG.com with a 10% launch discount.

The city is gripped by fear. A mysterious serial killer leaves behind him a trail of bodies, taunting the authorities and terrorizing the population. But the murders seem connected to the infamous "Silver Case" from 20 years back, which costed the lives of many political figures. Could it be that the elusive Kamui Uehara is back? And if so, why did he or she stop killing 20 years ago?
A special forces unit is tasked with putting an end to these gruesome murders. As its member, you'll need to investigate the city's shadows, squeeze information out of unwilling witnesses, and solve puzzles that may reveal you the evidence you need. Originally released in 1999 without English localization, The Silver Case is the fully remastered version of the cult classic, which introduced us to SUDA51's twisted realm of dark imagination. Go ahead and try the free <span class="bold">demo</span> for a taste.

Attempt to solve <span class="bold">The Silver Case</span> and get thrust into an intriguing world of lies, betrayal, and murder -- DRM-free on GOG.com. Make your case even more shiny with the <span class="bold">Deluxe Edition</span>, which also includes an artbook, a digital comic book and the game's moody OST.
The 10% launch discount will last until October 14, 12:59 PM UTC.

Venita: It's not a point-and-click, you have a first person perspective in the game and it's really weird at first, but you get used to it very quickly :)

IAmSinistar: Oh cool. Sounds a bit like the control scheme in the somewhat obscure horror-mystery game I like, One Late Night. I could get behind that. Planning on checking out that demo!
Demo's live :)

gamesfreak64: I think i played the steam demo..........
the intro was flashy i had to alF$ quickly because of the photosensitivy.
this game is no game for me

I noticed many new games have flashy effects, seems they can't do without it, i stick to old classic non flashy games, there are still hundreds old good games out there but for some unclear reason only steam and gamersgate have these (many drn free at gamersgate) while a large number of the developers/publisher have games on Gog.

gamesfreak64: Oh FP ? well if i had know that before i would have make my eyes and head suffer from watching the headache inducing intro, its weird that they dont mention that, many digital games dont have any mention of possible epilepsy warning, the retail games with paper manuals always had one.

I think devs should be aware of that and should mention it.
Do try the demo, the game has a first person perspective but it's not like an FPS, you have some segments where you move around but you do not have to hurry and can take your time. Also, the movement during the time that you do move around is grid-based (sort of like an old-school dungeon crawler) :)

This isn't exactly what I was expecting in terms of of a visual novel style game, but I think I smell hints of SNATCHER in it.

...when it goes on sale.

I like story based games. What are the options in this game? Can you turn off the typewriter audio sound you hear each time a text appears?

Looks interesting

This release seems a bit expensive for what it is, but it's nice to see it available here. Here's hoping more of SUDA51's games will eventually show up on PC ( and here ).

Bavarian: A SUDA game on PC? That's new.
Killer is Dead has a PC version as well.

Wow - that has got to go down as one of the most useless game trailers in history. So I know what the main game characters look like and what their names are. I get a small flavour of the art style from looking at those characters. But absolutely no idea what the game looks like or what the gameplay is like. The biggest message I get is that the producers of this video really wish that they were instead producing music videos.

If I'm going to try and decide if I want to buy a game I at least want the trailer to provide me with a little taste of the gameplay and it's visuals. All this trailer did was piss me off that yet again a trailer wasted my time and as such I have no inclination to spend any more of my valuable time trying to find out more about the game.
