Marusa no Onna adapts the Juzo Itami satirical film on Japanese Catalyst Soft Famicom with its tax inspector tracking fraudsters and yakuzas. The representation alternates oblique view investigation and negotiation phases in a Japanese satirical film license formula. Without western release, curiosity for Famicom adventure fans in the 8 bit Catalyst production vein.

Description
Adaptation of Juzo Itami's film about a tax inspector cast as a text adventure. Published by Toho, released in 1987 in Japan. Command-driven ADV gameplay, interrogations, clue cross-referencing and a scripted progression faithful to the source film and its satirical tone.
