About Tantei ha Tsuki wo Miru
Tantei ha Tsuki wo Miru is a mystery RPG set in a fictional city where a young man teams up with his childhood friend, a detective, to solve cases and track a shadowy thief. Developed by YUUIRO and released in 2025, it blends adventure and RPG elements with a focus on story-driven quests. Players take on guild missions, uncover secrets through dialogue, and engage in strategic combat. The game runs on PC and sticks to single-player mode. It’s a moody, atmospheric experience centered on figuring out interconnected cases while balancing character relationships and action. Perfect if you enjoy deduction puzzles and branching narratives.
Gameplay
You split time between investigation and combat. Each session starts with a case briefing, followed by exploring locations to gather clues via dialogue, item searches, and skill checks (e.g., lockpicking, surveillance). Combat is turn-based, emphasizing elemental weaknesses and positioning. Guild quests add side content, like tracking stolen artifacts or interrogating suspects. The detective’s assistant role lets you influence decisions, altruistic or ruthless choices shift story outcomes. Sessions average 2, 3 hours, with a mix of fast-paced battles and slow-burn deduction. Controls are intuitive, though menu navigation can feel clunky during investigations. The game leans heavily on voice lines and ambient music to build tension.
What Players Think
PlayPile users rate it 8.5/10, with 78% completing the main story. Average playtime is 25 hours, though 12% log over 40. Community moods are 62% curious, 28% nostalgic, and 10% tense. Critics praise the layered plot but note repetitive enemy designs. One review: “Cases feel like escape rooms, satisfying but slow.” Completionists highlight 120 achievements, including optional thief pursuits. However, 35% of players abandon mid-game due to pacing issues. Prices stay steady at $39.99, with 15% discount for early purchases. The game’s strength lies in character dynamics, with 92% of users completing key romance subplots.
PlayPile's Take
Tantei ha Tsuki wo Miru is a solid but uneven choice for mystery fans. The detective work is rewarding, especially if you enjoy parsing dialogue for hidden clues. However, combat can drag in late-game chapters, and side quests often feel tacked on. With 120 achievements and branching storylines, it offers replay value, but don’t expect a flawless RPG. If you’re patient and enjoy slow-burn narratives, the $39.99 price tag is fair. Skip if you dislike drawn-out pacing or need tight combat mechanics. Best played in short, focused sessions to avoid burnout.
