This is Suda51 in his prime. Fresh off of his stint with Human Entertainment, at which he made the absolutely deranged Syndrome games, he decided to go his own way and start Grasshopper Entertainment. The result was The Silver Case. Made with a tiny staff and hamstrung by all kinds of restrictions both financial and otherwise, this lead to the creation of the Film Window system.

The SIlver Case's labyrinthine plot consists of pages upon pages of text, yes, but the FIlm Window system brings it to life through all sorts of mediums, including but not limited to: live action, animation, still art, emails, chats, you name it.
(Fun fact: a professional film editor cut the live action segments, but he wasn't told the clips were for a game.)

This isn't just a visual novel or a procedural crime drama. This is a Suda51 Trip, the very definition of the phrase, and the fact that it got localized is nothing short of a miracle.

The story that continues into Flower, Sun, and Rain and ends with the tale of the Killer7 begins here.

Kill The Past.
