In the past few days, several visual novels / adventure games have been announced for the Nintendo Switch, and it looks like there's even more on the way. Today, Mebius announced that they would release J.B. Harold Murder Club on the console, next week on August 10th, to be precise.
For those who never heard of it, J.B. Harold Murder Club is a classic adventure game originally developed by Riverhillsoft, and first released on the NEC PC-98 back in 1986. It was then ported to several other platforms, including the MSX, the Famicom, and even the Nintendo DS. And it looks like the Nintendo Switch is going to be the latest platform to get it!
J.B. Harold Murder Club is a pretty classic adventure game. According to the press release, the game features over 30 characters. In the game, you have to keep track of all the suspect, while checking out the new facts that emerge as your investigation progresses.
The game will be released on August 10th in Japan, where it will cost ¥ 864. Unfortunately, we don't know if there will be a western release or not, but the game was translated in English!
Spoiler
Here's what the story is all about:
"The body of a man was discovered in a car parked at a parking lot located in the vicinity of the Howlinston College, in the suburbs of Liberty Town. The victim is Bill Robbins (aged 34); the cause of death? Bleeding caused by several stab wounds, that he received from behind with a sharp knife.
Why was Bill Robbins killed? Because of an affair (he was a well-known womaniser)? Money problems? Or something else? In order to find the truth, J. B. Harold will have to untangle the complex web of relationships that ties the various characters."
Here's the main characters:
Bill Robbins
Janet Robbins (Bill Robbins' wife)
Edward Robbins (Bill Robbin’s father)
Fred Robbins (Bill Robbin’s brother)
Catherine White (a detective from the Liberty Town Police Station. She knows and understands J.B. pretty well)
