Our take on The Silver Case
Its defining structure is a first-person investigation that links several mysteries across Tokyo’s 24 Wards, combining detective storytelling with puzzles and riddles.
What is The Silver Case?
Set in Tokyo’s 24 Wards in 1999, The Silver Case follows an investigation into serial murders and Kamui Uehara, a suspected killer connected to an earlier case.
The player controls a member of the Republic Special Forces and investigates from a first-person perspective, exploring the city’s underground and the police organization. The game combines adventure and visual-novel elements with neo-noir and hardboiled detective fiction. Interconnected storylines, puzzles, and riddles gradually reveal information about Kamui’s identity and motives. The remastered edition includes English localization.
