About Chase: Cold Case Investigations Distant Memories for Nintendo 3DS

Chase Cold Case Investigations Distant Memories is a short detective adventure from staff who worked on the beloved Hotel Dusk series. Detectives Shounosuke Nanase and Koto Amekura reopen an explosion case from five years ago after an anonymous tip suggests it was never an accident. The whole story unfolds through moody interviews in a police station, drawn in a stylish noir look. A single interrogation room holds most of the drama, proving that sharp writing and strong faces can carry a whole mystery.

Gameplay focuses on conversation and deduction. You question witnesses, choose which topics to press and spot lies by watching stories clash with the facts you already hold. At key moments the game tests your theory, and wrong choices can end the case early, which keeps every question feeling important. The touch screen handles notes and choices cleanly. It is a compact tale of a few hours, built for one or two quiet evenings, and it ends with threads that beg for the sequel fans still hope to see.

Mystery fans hunting this one today need the physical route or luck. The Nintendo eShop for Nintendo 3DS closed in March 2023, so new digital purchases are no longer possible. The honest way to play now is a physical cartridge from a retailer, though western copies were part of a limited double pack release. Players who bought the game digitally before the closure can still access their purchased games on their system. That limited pack is now a prized collector item.

It is a small, sharp mystery that lingers in the mind.
