Just a week after teasing an urban legend horror game it deemed "inappropriate for some users," Nintendo revealed what its mysterious "Emio" project is all about: It's a new entry in the 35-year-old Famicom Detective Club adventure game series. and it comes out next month.
Emio – The Smiling Man: Famicom Detective Club is a brand new game built around an original urban legend created for the title, series producer and writer Yoshio Sakamoto said in a video published by Nintendo on Wednesday. The legend surrounding Emio is that he appears in front of crying girls and promises them "a smile that will last forever." But Emio is a killer, and he leaves his victims dead and wears a paper mask with a smile scrawled on it.
