Marusa no Onna — About this game
This is a command-based adventure in which you play as Ryoko Itakura, an investigator at the port town tax office, investigating companies and people suspected of tax evasion. In addition to talking to people indoors, you will walk through the town looking down on it diagonally, moving from the station to different districts, and visiting the research destinations. It is important to take the ledgers and testimonies you find back to the tax office for verification. Proceed to the next clue by reporting to your superior Tsuyuguchi, calling your subordinate Yoshino, and searching for addresses and banks on your computer. Once the evidence is gathered, bargaining options appear to placate or contradict the other party. However, if you force it, you may be kicked out, and the content of the same conversation topic will change depending on progress. This is a work where the power of observation that connects records and testimonies is important, not combat skills. This book is suitable not only for those who know the movie, but also for those who like detective stories that involve repeated interviews.
