Satsui no Kiss KISS OF MURDER

A unique entry in Riverhillsoft's celebrated J.B. Harold series, this title reimagines the graphics and systems of its predecessor, Manhattan Requiem, to tell an entirely new story. By utilizing the same setting and characters to portray a completely different case, the developers adopted an experimental and ambitious approach rarely seen in the adventure game market of the time. The game replaces simple trial-and-error interrogation with a logic-based system that demands the player's own deductive reasoning for a more immersive detective experience. While inheriting the hardboiled atmosphere of the original, this parallel narrative remains highly regarded as a bold experiment in the history of retro gaming.

A clerk is murdered at a Manhattan jewelry store, and a rare gemstone known as the "Blue Sorrow" is stolen. Upon learning of the death of a woman who once testified in one of his previous cases, detective J.B. Harold accepts a request from an insurance company to head to Manhattan and uncover the truth. While the game shares its setting and cast with Manhattan Requiem, it plays out as a parallel story featuring entirely new human relationships and a different mystery. Players assume the role of J.B. Harold, using limited clues and logical deduction to peel back the layers of this complex and tangled case.
