How to Play Mississippi Satsujin Jiken: Murder on the Mississippi
Quick start
If you start with START, you can go out to investigate from your room 3 in a walking state. First, go to Room 4 and discover the murder scene so that you can use ``Talking''. Approach the furniture you want to investigate, press A to bring up the item, use the cross button to select "Search", and press A to execute. When you find the item, press A to take it. When confirming that you want to leave a testimony, B will "take notes" and A will "not take notes", so do not press repeatedly. The items will be placed on a table and examined in Room 3's ``Search for Shokohin.'' Be careful of the pitfalls in rooms 1 and 14 and the knife in room 16. Make note of the situation on board and the testimony.

Mississippi Satsujin Jiken: Murder on the Mississippi — About this game
Detective Sir Charles and his assistant Watson come across a case while on vacation on the Delta Princess on the Mississippi River. It's an adventure in which you walk around the ship using a side-view screen, searching for furniture and belongings, and investigating passengers by asking them about relationships and evidence. They take the items they have obtained back to their cabin, examine them in detail, and show the testimonial notes to another person to uncover a new story. The important thing is not only to listen to the testimony, but also to preserve the necessary content. Watson's records are limited to three per suspect, and if you add more, the older ones disappear, and you can't repeat the same story. There are traps inside the ship that will instantly cause the game to end, so you will need to be careful in selecting records and moving carefully. Compare the person's words with physical evidence and build your own path to prosecution.
