Description

The newest chapter in the legendary Detective Saburo Jinguji series,
a hard-boiled adventure with over three decades of legacy.
This gripping entry welcomes newcomers and rewards loyal fans alike.
Delve into a previously untold tale—Jinguji’s formative years in a dramatic origin story!


It was exactly one month ago today.
Kyosuke, Saburo’s grandfather, was murdered in New York City.

Saburo travels to the bustling metropolis
to confront the remnants of a life left behind—objects, echoes, and unresolved truths.

The familiar skyline and fleeting reunions stir warmth, but it doesn't last.
Among the clues, a final word surfaces: ‘Daedalus.’

What secret does that word hold?
And what led to Kyosuke’s violent end?

"Remember, Saburo: tend the orchard of your mind."

Once a guiding philosophy, those words now linger only in memory.

Yet, standing alone in a foreign city,
young Jinguji Saburo steps forward—honoring his grandfather’s legacy by taking up the investigation himself!



Feel the immersion of walking in Saburo's shoes—searching crime scenes and hidden corners
from his exact perspective to uncover secrets only he can find.


The Orchard of Your Mind returns—Jinguji’s mental sanctuary where thoughts take root.
As clues accumulate, the orchard flourishes, bearing fruit that unlocks deeper understanding.


Jinguji can initiate a Stance Change after intense, revealing conversations.
By shifting his approach, others react differently—revealing insights otherwise hidden.

This game has beautiful art & interface design, the story is also quite good. I also love the characters. However, I feel this game mechanics could use a lot of improvement; for example, I dont think the confirmation

Alternate Jake Hunter The Awakening of Gold Jazz (what a name) is a visual novel/detective story where we solve a mystery of how is it possible to produce such a bad game. I never played the other games in the Jake

Alternate Jake Hunter: DAEDALUS The Awakening of Golden Jazz is a game that has nothing to do with the title with the exception of "DAEDALUS" and "Jazz". I honestly couldn't tell you what the title of this game means.

6/10. A positive experience, but only barely. Odd controls, mostly useless gameplay, the story has some interesting points but doesn't explore them very much, and has an open-ended ending that leaves too much

Truly this is one of those games I would like to put a "maybe" recommendation? I played this game to a 100%, have never played another Jake Hunter before, and this left me with more questions than answers. The overall
