    Literally no one played The Centennial Case, even though Square-Enix made a 4K FMV detective game with a compelling mystery and rock solid direction? Even the folks who caught Paranormasight when it came out skipped this one, and that’s a damn shame.

    Completed Games of 2025 1) The Centennial Case: A Shijima Story A well directed FMV detective visual novel. Super minimal from a gameplay perspective but the story was good with some twists and turns even if it does a "remember this one scene 4 hours ago" that proved a contridiciton in the end.

    Seeing a lot of best PlayStation game lists without The Centennial Case: A Shijima Story on them. Cowards and fools, everywhere.

    Beau reviews The Centennial Case: A Shijima Story for AGH. This review has a bit more emotion and persinal sentiment to it as Beau's father passed away while he was playing the game. Rest peacefully. adventuregamehotspot.com/review/5028/... #indiegame #adventuregame

    finished The Centennial Case. i may or may not write something about what i think of its themes later, but i agree with this review on its strengths and weaknesses. at the moment, i'll just say since the game is on sale, it's worth picking it up: www.rpgsite.net/review/12751...

    I'll have to take a look. Similarly I really enjoyed Square / h.a.n.d 's game "The Centennial Case" but it's all just story and light deduction. There's clearly space there for something deeper, I feel.

  • Mx. Fee @mxfee.bsky.socialBluesky · Feb 5, 2024

    Yes because you're not showing the game "as intended". Also not allowed to play the game soundtrack without the game. SE have a lot of little things written into their EULAs. For some of their games, it's forbidden to stream them at all (I had a live takedown for playing The Centennial Case).

    I'm certainly not defending it but it IS a thing VN devs seem to do a lot. There's this Square-Enix FMV game, "The Centennial Case", that I was really hype about! Then I read their streaming policy, which is "Don't. Not any of it.". Then I didn't buy the game.

    Did a bit of game shopping earlier. While obviously not as fruitful as Japan, I did manage to find a few exclusives. The Centennial Case was just a really good price and seems hard to find at a reasonable price so why not since it has English. #SwitchCorps

    Finished "The Centennial Case" today. I really enjoyed it as a murder mystery FMV game, but I love me some FMV games. 😅😁 Interesting story jumping through 100 years of Japanese history, with some twists I was able to guess and some I hadn't anticipated, but once pointed out they made sense.

    (Looking thru my library) STRANGER OF PARADISE! If you want final fantasy-themed dark souls with thick layers of sarcasm, camp, wholesomeness, and numetal on an iPod, that’s the game for you. Oh, and if you like point/click murder mysteries with full live acting, The Centennial Case is awesome.

    New pickups! Starting with one that actually arrived two weeks ago but forgot to mention it here. Finally acquired h.a.n.d & Square Enix's FMV game The Centennial Case: A Shijima Story for PlayStation 5. The Japanese import has English subtitles and was pretty pricey but found it for a good price.

    I noticed this during some of the previews for this game, but its very funny that the Centennial Case tile matching segment copies the same mechanic of having patterns on the tiles that can be paired up with the main clue. Basically acting as a massive hint to which tiles to add #ShutenThantus

    Having a Honkaku addiction means having an addiction. Like having nicotine addictions will have people picking up cigarettes butts on the floor, I am allured to Centennial Case because an addiction is an addiction. It's also a really really Not Good game. Narrative wise it's entirely nonsensual, to the point that I can't give an example because almost every sentence is a hot mess. Motivations don't make sense, behaviours don't make sense, the solution is infuriatingly disorganised. It's so bad…

    So it's not quite a VN, but more like filmed human actors speaking each line very slowly. Which is something I dislike compared to VN. Hell of a compartmentalised conventional honkaku. As in, this is the most Escape Room detective story I played for a while in terms of neat sterility. And I mean it as a compliment, it's clear that its purpose is highly artificial mystery and the joy of solving that. #VideoGames #Games #Switch #TheCentennialCase

    And yet it is also a shame that Square Enix will probably walk away entirely from this type of game, different from their usual offerings, following their recent restructuration. I think I’ll try their FMV game, The Centennial Case, soon, hoping to find something more to my tastes
