Tantei Jinguji Saburo: Mikan no Report
Tantei Jingūji Saburō ~ Mikan no Rupo is a Japanese style adventure game in the detective/mystery genre. It is the 5th game in the Jake Hunter / Tantei Jingūji Saburō series, being released between Toki no Sugiyuku Mama ni... (1990) and Yume no Owari ni (1998). While following the same formula of the previous titles, the game features a "Zapping System", allowing the player to see the story from the perspective of other characters as well as Jingūji. Also featured in this title is car chase and following suspects in the form of 3D mini-games, although these features would rarely be seen again in future releases.

About This Game
A small package arrives at the detective agency from an overseas journalist who has worked with Jinguji before. Inside is a single key — no instructions, no context, nothing to indicate what it opens or why it needed to be sent across an ocean. What the journalist left behind, whether deliberately or not, is a puzzle that only Jinguji is positioned to unravel. Finding the meaning of the key — what it was meant to open, and why someone took the trouble — is the case.
