Emio - The Smiling Man: Famicom Detective Club launches on the Switch this week, and ahead of its arrival, Nintendo has now made the "third and final chapter" in the free demo available.
Chapter 3 is officially titled "The Language of Flowers" and touches on a detective's past and two siblings who are torn apart. You can get a quick look at what to expect in the video on Nintendo's YouTube channel. The game is obviously for mature audiences, so we can't show it here.
Our full review of this game will be live later today. Here's what we had to say in our hands on with this new entry:
"With an instantly intriguing premise and the prospect of some rather nasty goings-on down the line, this M-rated effort from Nintendo has certainly got our attention so far — we're fully engaged and expecting to go some very twisted places. Let's hope we get exactly what we deserve."
Have you tried out the third chapter of the Emio demo yet? Looking forward to the full release? Let us know in the comments.

If this game has taught me anything so far, it’s to mentally summon taxis.
Just finished part 3 of this demo. Definitely intriguing, but the pacing up until this point suggests it will be a slow burn for sure.
@MagicEmperor and to charge my cell phone!
@MagicEmperor and that respecting others’ personal space is important
Really enjoying the game so far, just knocked out chapter 3, but does seem like a bit of an odd choice as to where to draw the line for the demo. The game's kind of such a slow burn that other than some lingering hints at things there isn't a lot to latch onto that's likely to make you go, "Oh, I have to see what happens next!", not sure how much the demo will do the job of hooking people on the fence.
I'm enjoying the game but find the 'gameplay' abit hit and miss, when conversations are nearing their conclusion i usually find myself just randomly selecting all the options just to hit the right one to progress - does anyone have any tips for me on this, or is this just a product of its design?
I will be getting the game however as the story really intrigues me and definately want to see where it goes.
Nice, looking forward to playing Emio myself although as I've already mentioned I want to play the remakes of the previous games first!
@ozwally the think option usually has a hint as to what to select next.
It does have a very retro feel to it though, mechanically, they’re definitely doing things like it’s an 80’s game.
@Eel Thanks for the tip, I guess thats as good as it gets. I noticed in the NL review they mention the same complaint - their idea of highlithing/disabling exhausted options seems like it would have been a good idea to implement
