Novel Not New: Private Eye Dol
With a recent breakthrough in PC Engine emulation, a whole world of games is (very gradually) opening up to us! Some very talented people are now translating games that we never got in Japan- many we've never even heard of! It's our great delight to talk about one of these, Private Eye Dol, with our friend and former cohost Em! Time to investigate a game about investigation, and part of a deeply influential Japanese design trend that informs a lot of modern indie games.
