Originally released on the Famicom system in Japan in 1988, both games have players unraveling supernatural murder mysteries. The Missing Heir is set within a Japanese village where you will uncover a family murder mystery while your main character deals with amnesia. The Girl Who Stands Behind has players unraveling a mystery to free students from a “sinister nightmare”.

This new western release appears to be a remake complete with new CG artwork. Take a look at the trailer below.
