Orly Kuukou Satsujin Jiken

About

Orly Kuukou Satsujin Jiken is a murder mystery set during a trip to Paris in the early 1980s. You play as Kanae investigating the death of a tour operator, retracing their movements from arrival in the city to their final days. The game mixes dialogue choices with scene exploration to uncover clues about the victim's life and the circumstances around their death. Players piece together fragmented timelines and relationships through static illustrations and text-based interactions. This Japanese adventure title stands out as a relic of early 1980s PC gaming. Running on obscure hardware like the FM-7 and PC-8800 Series, it reflects the narrative experimentation of Japan's early computer era. While not widely known outside niche retro circles, its blend of travelogue and whodunit earned a small but devoted following among classic adventure fans. The January 1983 release date makes it one of the oldest titles in many collectors' libraries.
