Meitantei Conan: Karakuri Jiin Satsujin Jiken

Meitantei Conan: Karakuri Jiin Satsujin Jiken is a mystery adventure title for the Game Boy Color. The investigation begins when Ran and Conan agree to help their friend Miki locate her missing sister, Satomi, whose planned trip and uncharacteristic silence are causes for concern.

Gameplay involves navigating various locations from a top-down view, with the ability to control different characters. A map system indicates the player's current position. Progress is driven by gathering clues and speaking with other characters, which yields important keywords. These keywords are essential for piecing the case together and initiating the game's reasoning sequences.

Dialogue is presented through a message system that shows a character portrait with accompanying text. Conan maintains profiles on encountered individuals, and players can review these along with collected keywords and the map via an in-game menu. The initial search for clues leads the duo from Satomi's room to a remote old temple, which becomes their primary destination.
