Play Jake Hunter Detective Story: Shinjuku Central Park Murder Mystery Online Free

Tantei Jinguuji Saburou: Shinjuku Chuo Kouen Satsujin Jiken is the first entry in the legendary hardboiled noir detective series, originally released for the Famicom in 1987 and remade for the DS. You play as Saburou Jinguuji (Jake Hunter), a private investigator tasked with solving a strangulation murder in Shinjuku Central Park. The gameplay is a classic text-adventure/visual novel style where you must talk to witnesses, investigate scenes, and gather evidence. The iconic 'Smoking' system returns, where Jake lights a cigarette to clear his mind and gain hints when the investigation stalls. With its gritty atmosphere, jazz-inspired soundtrack, and compelling narrative, this game is a cornerstone of the mystery genre in Japan. This version is a fan-translated trial that brings the classic case to English-speaking audiences.
