Nintendo’s mystery title Emio is a detective game

Launching in August.

Emio, known as Smiling Man in the Japanese version, is not a new horror project but rather the latest entry in Nintendo’s Famicom Detective Club series. In it, you’ll play as, what else, a detective tasked with solving the gruesome murder of a student who was found with a paper bag with a smiling face over his head. In 2021, Nintendo released remakes of the first two Detective Club games, The Missing Heir and The Girl Who Stands Behind which first debuted in the late ‘80s.
