Summary

Jantei Monogatari blends the intrigue of a classic Japanese adventure with the strategic depth of mahjong. You step into the shoes of an unnamed private investigator, navigating a menu‑driven world where each location hides a new suspect. The twist? Every conversation is a mahjong match—win a hand and the opponent reluctantly spills a clue, opening up fresh dialogue options and new characters to interrogate. Early on you’re limited to the three girls pictured in a mysterious photograph, but as you rack up victories you earn experience that unlocks additional suspects and hidden leads. In total, you’ll face about a dozen opponents, each offering a piece of the puzzle surrounding a kidnapped girl. The game rewards both deduction and tile‑play skill, making every win feel like a step closer to cracking the case.
