Quick Look: Tokyo Dark

This seems anime.

That's one anime-ass game.

Good they are doing Square Enix sent me an email about this

Oh man, I like throwing dark too!

A visual novel interesting

Who else clicked on the Nvidia driver update pop up?

Oh awesome! You mentioned this on the Beastcast but I couldn't find it.

The first few seconds in and I get the feeling that we need a Columbo Anime now more than ever.

Finally, we know Dan's GOTY.

Someone get this grumpy detective some Snackoos, obscure references always helps! munch, munch, munch.

On the subject of Japanese Theater:

Lol glad I wasn't the only one.

This game seems cool. Good on Square Enix for publishing smaller games like this.

This seems really neat, I like the tone of it.

"Petting the cat will bring down your neurosis"

^ accurate

Vinny continues to have excellent taste. I'll look forward to playing this one someday.

Her apartment instantly reminded me of Silent Hill: The Room.

Are you a cop?

"I believe that is a traditional Noh-mask." Nicely done, Abby!

I like the tone of this game. It's relaxing and at the same time I want to know what happens next.

That pin in the thumbnail totally gives me TWEWY vibes (though it doesn't look like an actual pin from that game AFAICT).

Happy to see Square-Enix continuing to support non-marquee projects like this!

Wish there were a Vinny's picks blog.

This game looks too creepy for me, but seems like an awesome unique concept that is well done.

I kickstarted this thing and it's nice to see it turned out well.

I would hope the budget David Cage gets to do his shitty "noir" or "detective" could be spent on games like these, that clearly show a lot of promise.

It looks fun and its refreshing to see this types of games

this is a really great quick look!

Tokyo Dark vs Steins; Gate.

@quantris: You're right, makes me think of Tigre Punks, possibly just because it says "Punk" on it.

@extintor: Yup, this game has a person wearing sensible investigator clothes and that other thing is a bastardized anime version of that look. I mean, brown trench coat, white dress shirt with tie and pants is basically Columbo.

@benderunit22: Yep. Got me too.

Abby randomly jumping in with the fast facts in videos is turning into one of my new favorite things.

@extintor: Are you suggesting these are overly similar? The character designs look pretty different to me. I've played the steins;gate VN and seen the anime, so not just going off the anime figure picture you included.

Oh vinny, not "sure" what their relationship are?

* She have a picture of that guy and her in the pocket with her household cat

* They mention that he works late so they don't see each other

* Double bed and at least he did buy coffee before went to work? have a laptop at the same house as her?

*She mentions they be alone now (to her cat) now that he is not there

Get some more coffee,

I wonder if you know

how they Dark in Tokyo

I read that as anime ass-game.

are you gonna start covering the dozen visual novels coming out every week now? :^)

Thanks Abby for Noh mask info. I notice there was also a Maneki-neko in her office, but it was turned into the corner.

Game looks interesting, not sure I would have heard about it without the Quick Look so thanks guys!

@dray2k: Well now I really want a Columbo anime. There was one for Agatha Christie's Poirot and Marple. I think it could be really good!

999 was anime-ass, yet its one of the most well-written piece in this medium.

I'm interested in cop adventures but I don't care for the art.
