Review Chase: Cold Case Investigations - Distant Memories (3DS eShop)
A short but solid sleuth ‘em up
Kaisuke Tanasaki is not one of gaming's most well-known directors, but he oversaw some of the DS's most intriguing narrative-led titles in the form of Hotel Dusk: Room 215 and Another Code/Trace Memory. After developer Cing's closure in 2010, Tanasaki-san is back with some of the same team under Arc System Works to...

News Chase: Cold Case Investigations - Distant Memories Arrives on the 3DS eShop Soon
From Taisuke Kanasaki and his team
It often happens that a rather niche and intriguing title is announced for the Japanese market, and we sigh and doubt it'll ever come to the West. With that in mind it was pleasing in the Summer when Chase: Cold Case Investigations - Distant Memories was confirmed for localisation to the West by Aksys, given a Fall...

About The Game
Chase down the Truth!
Chase: Cold Case Investigations ~Distant Memories~ is an adventure mystery game from the mind of Taisuke Kanasaki, director of the famed Hotel Dusk: Room 215! Join the exploits of two gritty detectives whose sense of justice and raw instinct drive them to seek the truth. Put your sleuthing skills to the challenge by re-investigating old crime scenes and solving cold cases by searching for clues and interrogating perps! Find leads by diving head first into old investigation notes, crime scene photos and eye witness reports as you put together all the pieces. Once you have a solid lead, interrogate persons of interest to see what they do (or don't) know. Grill perps by asking tough questions, but be careful! Ask the wrong questions and your Interrogation Gauge will deplete. Ask too many wrong questions and it's Game Over!

I'd have liked it better if the guy was Kyle Hyde instead of a guy that just looks like him. But I do understand why it had to be this way. The ex-CINQ employees don't own the character or story despite CINQ being no more. I am still downloading this when it gets released though of course.
Can't wait! Huge fan of the Hotel Dusk and Another Code series'.
Also, to the guy above, they were Cing, not Cinq.
Very disappointed with the price. I want it to be a lot more expensive dammit! Would normally mean bigger game, but this could potentially be a sign of decently paced episodic releases, which wouldn't be bad either. Regardless, I will be all over it.
But will it support the rumble pak?
... I get that there's no cover art available, seeing as this is a digital download. However why does the placeholder 3DS-boxart show a DS Lite?
Anyway! Definitely picking this up, its predecessors were amazingly well done.
Downloading right now without waiting for a review or further details. A £6 spiritual successor to Hotel Dusk was all I needed to know to get it.
Hm. Its very simple gameplay so far - just picking objects out of a photograph and choosing from one menu selection or the other along with a LOT of text. There is currently no real penalty for getting the wrong answer although I don't yet know what happens if the bar during interrogation drops to zero. There is also none of the walking around and puzzles from Hotel Dusk. It may look similar but if you only wanted more of the same we got in Hotel Dusk, you will likely be disappointed.
I want it to be a lot more expensive dammit! Would normally mean bigger game, but this could potentially be a sign of decently paced episodic releases, which wouldn't be bad either. Regardless, I will be all over it.
If the gameplay doesn't change significantly, I wouldn't want more games in this series. I don't dislike it, its just very simple right now.
