Emio: The Smiling Man, resurrecting Nintendo's 20-year old classic Famicom Detective Club series just to terrify us all.

Having been recommended this game by my friend Ben who effectively kicked off this wild video idea, I found the Famicom Detective Club games to be riveting, exciting, and even while being mildly aged by NES/SNES dialogue trees, very fun to play for the Halloween season. When a serial (instrument stealer) is on the loose, can the Utsugi Agency Detective follow the clues laid by witnesses and even the criminal himself to catch him?

Humongous thanks to EVERYONE who contributed to this video, from witnesses to camerapeople to creative digital submissions!
