Is Hokkaidou Rensa Satsujin - Okhotsk ni Kiyu still worth playing in 2026?
A text adventure from Hudson Soft, Hokkaidou Rensa Satsujin has you play a detective investigating a series of murders across Hokkaido, in a crime plot based on interrogation, observation and deduction. Written by Yuji Horii, the title is a milestone of Japanese narrative adventure, with polished writing and a gripping atmosphere. Left in Japan, it rests entirely on the language. For a fan of retro narrative adventure or someone curious about the genre's roots in Japan, the title keeps a real literary and historical value.
