STORY

1999 - the "24 Wards". A string of mysterious serial killings plagues the city.
The detectives of the 24 Wards Heinous Crimes Unit have their eyes on one man: Kamui Uehara, legendary serial killer and assassin of a number of government officials 20 years prior in the now-famous "Silver Case". However, nobody knows who - or what - Kamui really is.

Has he really returned? Who is this infamous serial killer?

As player, you will take control of the protagonist - a member of the Special Forces Unit known as “Republic” - from a first-person perspective. Inspired by classic adventure and visual novel-style games, The Silver Case offers a fresh and unique gameplay experience as it leads the player through an in-depth story containing various puzzles, uncovering the truth piece by piece.

The Silver Case was the debut game from developer SUDA51, creator of titles such as Flower, Sun and Rain, Killer 7, the No More Heroes series, Lollipop Chainsaw and most recently LET IT DIE. Now, The Silver Case HD Remaster - the new and improved version of Grasshopper Manufacture Inc.'s maiden title - is coming to various PC distribution platforms in the fall of 2016.

The game will be fully remastered while still retaining the same feel and atmosphere of the original PSX version from 1999. It will also be fully localized into English for the first time ever, finally giving SUDA51 fans throughout the world the chance to enjoy The Silver Case.

I'm going to pick it up but I'll admit to not knowing much about it beyond what I've heard on this forum. Great to see localisations and ports like this being done though.

Edit: A limited phyiscal edition in on sale from Limited Run Games for $49.99USD, this includes an emailed Steam key to play (I'm not sure when they go out, soon I guess) https://limitedrungames.com/products/the-silver-case-pc?variant=29267095619

Thanks MrDoctor for the physical info

[Nyoro SF]

[Kabuki Quantum Lover]

Here's the pages for those but they aren't active yet:

Playism seems like a good deal with the Steam key. My internet is totally shot at the moment, download will take forever.

Edit: from the pages it seems like GOG is DRM free only but humble is Steam key only. Might change when they go live though

 

[Tyrant Rave]

Nice, just bought it

 

[Novum_Veritas]

This is good news, got it at the moment it was posted here, looking forward to it

 

[cj_iwakura]

Excited. Waiting on my key from LRG.

Same. Will put up the OT tonight.

 

[MrDoctor]

op is missing the physical copy https://limitedrungames.com/products/the-silver-case-pc?variant=29267095619

 

[Durante]

It looks like getting it from Playism is the best deal, especially if you are in Europe.

Marginally cheaper (due to USD), you get both the Steam and DRM-free version, and the publisher gets a bit more money.

Just bought it there.

 

[PurpleMoustache]

Picked it up. Seems like an awesome Steam Controller + Link game. Play from bed easily.

 

[takoyaki]

Excited. Waiting on my key from LRG.

Yup, same here.

 

[Joqu]

Nice. I guess LRG keys haven't gone out yet though, huh? Hope that doesn't take too long

Thanks, I added it. The physical copy looks awesome.

 

[Ran rp]

Looking at the demo, which settings should be set to orignal/hd?

 

[Novum_Veritas]

I someone doing a discussion thread?
I would really look forward to talk about the game and the story in general.

I will be later. Unless you mean a spoiler one...

 

[Soulflarz]

anyone have an idea of how long this game is? No ones played the remake in here I assume, but...yeah, are we talking a quick weekend game, or not at all.

 

[Novum_Veritas]

I will be later. Unless you mean a spoiler one...

Well I think a normal and a spoiler one would be a good idea I think.
Especially the story bits are on the heavy side I would presume.

iirc 10 hours

 

[Nags]

I would support a PS4 or Vita version. Hopefully it comes to one of those.

To say the least.

 

[Novum_Veritas]

To say the least.

Thought so
Thanks for doing the OT though, much appreciated.

 

[Soulflarz]

oh, that works for me and I may just pick this up! Was going to say, gears tuesday and I'm busy all of today+tomorrow, so I needed something short to hold me over.

 

[Sakujou]

i dont even have a pc to play on, but i bought the LE just because of fucking suda.
killer7,nmh,... were amazing games and this one of his games when he had more freedom to put out weird games...

i hope for a vita or 3ds port, since i am not playing much on consoles these days.

Yeah, just saw the LRG version and ordered it. I'll keep it sealed though.

 

[Bebpo]

Picked it up this morning. Is there anyway to turn off the TEXT APPEARING SOUND because it's headache-inducing grating after a few mins. Also when can you save?

 

[Mr.Monitor]

Bummers about the lack of Mac support. I'll only be able to play this on my desktop at home.

The demo works fine in Wine, I'd assume the whole game would too.

Once you reach the building.

 

[Visualante2]

Where the reviews at?

 

[poppos2097]

Has anyone gotten the LRG key yet and is it just the Steam/deluxe bundle key, or would we also get a DRM-free download?

 

[SolVanderlyn]

I'm interested in this, but will wait for impressions first. VN/adventure games have historically been very hit/miss for me. Basically,

Where the reviews at?

 

[Sorcerer Supreme]

the disc itself is the drm free version. i'm still waiting for a key though

 

[poppos2097]

The Playism page mentions the OST having "Total 34 BGMs from the game including the OP remix". It may be the reissue of The Silver #01 Structure, with the new (Yamaoka?) remixed theme.

 

[WarRock]

Damn, thought this was next month. Too many games, too many games, haven't even played the second demo.

 

[Persona7]

Where the reviews at?

Should be able to find some on the internet. This game came out in 1999.

 

[Sumio Mondo]

In Japanese only...

YAY!

 

[Corpekata]

It's a PC exclusive release of a niche as fuck old Japanese game releasing around when Mafia 3 and Gears of War reviews are launching. It's not going to get a ton of reviews, at least not right away.

If ever. Not from the big boys anyway, that's for sure.

 

[Astarte]

FINALLY AFTER YEARS OF WAITING
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

 

[kagamin]

Hell yea, I'm gonna grab it soon.

 

[redhood56]

Picked it up once I woke up. Glad it has support for 4K resolution.

 

[PetriP-TNT]

Not really accustomed to visual novels but been following this for a while. Might buy later

 

[peakish]

Downloading. Between this, Phoenix Wright, Princess Maker and Steins; Gate there's suddenly so many visual novels to buy~

 

[Cindi Mayweather]

How do I get the physical copy this is important.

 

[Danny Dudekisser]

Not up on GOG till tomorrow. I'll wait.

DRM-free is cool.
