Nintendo has shared a new trailer continuing to promote Emio – The Smiling Man: Famicom Detective Club on Nintendo Switch.
Emio – The Smiling Man: Famicom Detective Club is the first new Famicom Detective Club story in 35 years. This game follows the previously released first and second instalments in the series, most recently remade for the portable home console, Famicom Detective Club: The Missing Heir and Famicom Detective Club: The Girl Who Stands Behind.
A student has been found dead, his head covered with a paper bag with an eerie smiling face drawn on it. It not only resembles a recurring clue in unsolved murders from 18 years ago, but a connection can be made to Emio, the “Smiling Man,” a killer of urban legend who is said to grant his victims “a smile that will last forever.”
Play the role of an assistant private investigator with Utsugi Detective Agency, where you are tasked with helping police solve this crime. Along the way, scrutinize the clues and testimonies you gather for potential connections to the gruesome events of the past.
Has a serial killer returned, or is this the work of a copycat? Are these crimes inspired by the Smiling Man story or the origin of it? These answers and more will be discovered as you investigate.
Emio – The Smiling Man: Famicom Detective Club is now available at retail and digitally on the Nintendo eShop for Nintendo Switch worldwide.
