Emio The Smiling Man: Famicom Detective Club - Nintendo Switch - Nintendo

Investigate a chilling murder tied to an unsettling urban legend in Emio The Smiling Man: Famicom Detective Club.

As an assistant private investigator with the Utsugi Detective Agency, you are asked to solve the death of student Eisuke Sasaki—found with a smiley-faced paper bag over his head—and determine whether the Smiling Man has returned or a copycat is at work.

Explore an interactive detective drama that places you at crime scenes, where you’ll question witnesses, gather testimonies, and scrutinize clues to uncover connections to a string of unsolved murders from 18 years ago.

Use investigative actions such as “Ask/Listen,” “Look/Examine,” and “Travel,” move a magnifying glass around the screen to find evidence, and consult your notebook to review findings and push the investigation forward.

Play as an investigative duo, meet a curious cast of characters, and continue the Utsugi Detective Agency story with returning protagonists — including Ayumi Tachibana, who is playable in certain sections of the game for the first time in the series.

Piece together secrets, order your thoughts carefully, and decide who is keeping important information as you uncover the truth behind the Smiling Man legend.

Start the investigation on Nintendo Switch today and uncover whether this case reveals a killer’s return or the origin of the urban legend.
