Emio - Der lächelnde Mann: Famicom Detective Club

Who is Emio - The Smiling Man?

Uncover the truth in a dark, multi-layered thriller for Nintendo Switch: Emio – The Smiling Man: Famicom Detective Club. Solve the murder of a young high school student, where a sinister clue is reminiscent of past, unsolved cases, and an urban legend about a killer with a disturbing modus operandi.

"I WILL GIVE YOU AN ETERNAL SMILE!"
Middle school student Eisuke Sasaki was found dead in a frightening attire. A paper bag with a smiling face painted on it had been put over his head.

This disturbing disguise bears a striking resemblance to a recurring piece of evidence in a series of unsolved murders 18 years ago – as well as to the urban legend of Emio, also known as the Smiling Man, a serial killer who is said to give his victims "an eternal smile".

Does this smiling man really exist... or will a new offender continue his legacy?
