About this game
This collection includes The Missing Heir and The Girl Who Stands Behind. One follows an amnesiac detective investigating a wealthy family's tragedy; the other connects a murder investigation with a high school's ghost story. Both put questioning and observation at the center of the investigation. Choose what to ask suspects, then move a magnifying-glass cursor over the scenery to inspect it. Gathering enough information opens new areas and encounters, while investigation notes let you revisit details about people and places. The remakes recreate the graphics and audio, and the original soundtrack remains selectable.
