Summary

Tantei Jinguuji Saburou Shiroi Kage no Syoujyo (Independent) marks a milestone for the long‑running Jake Hunter detective series. As the tenth main entry, it finally steps off the console and onto a handheld, becoming the franchise’s first portable adventure. This shift lets fans take the classic mystery‑solving formula with them on the go, preserving the series’ signature blend of investigation and narrative twists. Even without a console’s screen, the game manages to capture the gritty atmosphere that long‑time followers expect.

Storyline

Tantei Jinguuji Saburou Shiroi Kage no Syoujyo (Independent) drops you into a somber mystery right after a funeral. While attending his friend’s memorial, the grieving mother pulls the detective into a personal case, asking him to locate her missing child. At the same time, police inspector Kumano hands Jinguuji a second, more bizarre assignment: to look into the urban legend known as “Yū‑chan.” The game splits his focus between a heartfelt disappearance and a spooky folklore investigation, setting the tone for a dual‑track narrative.
