MAGES. will release the mystery adventure Fukakutei Sekai no Tantei Shinshi ~Akyou Souma no Jiken Fairu~ on Nintendo Switch and PS4 on September 10. The download-only release costs 2970 yen, with a launch sale at 1990 yen. The game is Hiroyuki Kanno's first Detective Gentleman series work, originally a 2000 PC title. The port adds a new opening movie and keeps the Proof Target and Time Limit systems.
Players take the role of Akyou Souma, a Class A detective in the international organization IDLA and one of only two license holders in Japan. The cases on offer include a ghost murder, a search for a husband who vanished on his honeymoon, and a bodyguard request for a mechanical doll that looks human.
Investigation runs on the Proof Target System, where the player focuses on objects in the scene and picks actions such as look, talk, or take. Each request carries a desired resolution period, and the reward rises or falls with the time spent. Information comes from the office PC, phone calls, and an informant who sells leads at a price. The story is set one year before Mysteryt ~Kaoru Yakogami's Challenge~, which released in July 2025.
