Reposted by Detective Instinct: Farewell, My Beloved (ADV/VN)Jesse Boo-rascia 👻 @jesseguarascia.com · 04/10/2026Really loved Detective Instinct. Got me into ADVs again, and rekindled my appreciation for the Nintendo DS. It’s nostalgic in the best way, as it’s not directly emulating any one thing, but is instead presenting the feeling that came with playing its inspirations for the first time 0217

Detective Instinct: Farewell, My Beloved (ADV/VN) @traindetective.bsky.social · 24/09/2026I mean, you have to admit this is pretty funny. 2463
Detective Instinct: Farewell, My Beloved (ADV/VN) @traindetective.bsky.social · 22/09/2026As usual, I composed a few tunes in a GB style for it (in collaboration with our friend Lexou). This one's my favorite, a sort of stupid Herb Alpert pastiche that would feel right at home in a Pokemon game room or something. 092

Detective Instinct: Farewell, My Beloved (ADV/VN) @traindetective.bsky.social · 14/09/2026Hot dogs or pretzels, it's crucial we don't let any of them fall into the enemy's hands. 010
Detective Instinct: Farewell, My Beloved (ADV/VN) @traindetective.bsky.social · 14/09/2026One thing I greatly enjoy is when games localize food into something arguably appropriate for the target region, but that feels weird in context - like Maya with burgers, or the hot dogs in FF8. I think this is what I was channeling when I made hot dogs the protagonist's main concern in DI 🌭 47414
Detective Instinct: Farewell, My Beloved (ADV/VN) @traindetective.bsky.social · 09/09/2026I doubt the Okhotsk remake did very well outside of Japan since it was dropped with little fanfare (and the English translation probably would have been more polished if it were a higher priority), so I wouldn't be surprised if they decided not to bother this time. But we can dream. 121

Detective Instinct: Farewell, My Beloved (ADV/VN) @traindetective.bsky.social · 09/09/2026A Portopia remake with a similar "something old, something new" approach as last year's Okhotsk remake and by the same development team. Looks awesome. The Steam page is translated, but it doesn't appear to support any languages other than Japanese 😔 15012

Detective Instinct: Farewell, My Beloved (ADV/VN) @traindetective.bsky.social · 04/09/2026Finally had some time to make another music analysis video. This one was fun for me, as Ema - particularly in Apollo Justice - is one of my favorite Ace Attorney characters. 2293
Detective Instinct: Farewell, My Beloved (ADV/VN) @traindetective.bsky.social · 04/09/2026Summer is coming to an end, so why not study abroad this semester and solve a mystery in Detective Instinct? 🚂 Our spin on DS-era mystery adventures is 30% off on both Steam and Switch for the next two weeks. Check it out! 15319
Detective Instinct: Farewell, My Beloved (ADV/VN) @traindetective.bsky.social · 01/09/2026Nothing to announce atm, but we will have some Detective Instinct-related updates at some point in the near-ish future. 020
Detective Instinct: Farewell, My Beloved (ADV/VN) @traindetective.bsky.social · 30/08/2026We can't rest until the reviews for a game like this aren't couched in "it's a little old-school and obtuse but..." and just say the gameplay is good, actually 😤 090
Detective Instinct: Farewell, My Beloved (ADV/VN) @traindetective.bsky.social · 30/08/2026Still so cool to me how Emio was an unapologetically classic FDC-style command-select adventure. It's one thing for freak indie devs like us to do it, but for Nintendo to release a brand new game like that with no compromises really surprised me. They should do it again! 811831
Reposted by Detective Instinct: Farewell, My Beloved (ADV/VN)Bowl of Lentils @bowloflentils.bsky.social · 29/08/2026Today is the 2nd anniversary of Emio: The Smiling Man and Nintendo actually posted an illustration to celebrate the occasion on the Nintendo Today app. Still can't believe that we actually got a new installment in the Famicom Detective Club series. Even more unbelievable that it turned out so good. 513646
Detective Instinct: Farewell, My Beloved (ADV/VN) @traindetective.bsky.social · 22/08/2026That's a classic for sure. 000
Detective Instinct: Farewell, My Beloved (ADV/VN) @traindetective.bsky.social · 21/08/2026They're some of the most real video games ever made, imo. 100
Detective Instinct: Farewell, My Beloved (ADV/VN) @traindetective.bsky.social · 21/08/2026I don't buy a ton of video game vinyl, but I had to pick this up when I saw it at a convention. Formative music for me (and honestly, one thing that endeared me to Ace Attorney when I first played it as an adult was that it had the same GBA-era Capcom pseudo-chiptune music approach as MMBN, heh) 1100
Detective Instinct: Farewell, My Beloved (ADV/VN) @traindetective.bsky.social · 21/08/2026Thinking about RPG battle themes, as I often do.

Reposted by Detective Instinct: Farewell, My Beloved (ADV/VN)Tom, Legally Certified Date Simmelier @iiotenki.bsky.social · 03/08/2026Kamaitachi no Yoru is simply one of the most important Japanese games in history, period. In the historical trajectory of novel games, if Otogirisou, Chunsoft's previous gane, is Pac-Land, this is Super Mario Brothers. It is that foundational in the storytelling and design paradigms it codified. 4559249
Detective Instinct: Farewell, My Beloved (ADV/VN) @traindetective.bsky.social · 04/08/2026I've been slowly making my way through of the Devil lately, and it's really great. Very unique take on Ace Attorney-ish gameplay with really confident aesthetics and storytelling. Definitely check it out! 3555
