Mysteries of Old Tokyo is a detective puzzle game in which a historian's work turns into a real-life investigation. After taking a position as a researcher at a mysterious company searching for rare artifacts, you begin gathering information about Tokyo's past using archival materials, old photographs, maps, books, and other historical sources. Each chapter focuses on a specific period or event, gradually revealing the city's multilayered history.
History has to be pieced together
The gameplay revolves around analyzing documents and finding connections between disparate facts. Old postcards lead to real-life locations in modern-day Tokyo, where you must compare the past and present, study changes in the urban environment, and search for details that can aid in the investigation. A single clue is usually insufficient, so answers must be constructed from several independent sources simultaneously.
Each investigation ends with the restoration of lost fragments of historical records. To fill in the gaps correctly, it's necessary to carefully study the collected materials and compare information between them. This approach makes you feel not like an ordinary detective, but like someone literally restoring forgotten chapters in the history of one of the world's most famous cities.
