Yagami is drawn toward another riddle as he looks into the bullying at Seiryo High School. Amasawa, the inquisitive head of the Mystery Research Club, is investigating the identity of a shady figure, and invites Yagami to become the MRC’s official advisor so he might infiltrate a range of after-school clubs. It’s a clever narrative wrapper that gathers together a collection of minigames: the robotics club offers a territorial game of Robot Wars where you drop tetromino-shaped pieces to claim turf, while allegations of cheating at an esports club give you an excuse to get good at Virtua Fighter 5: Final Evolution. There’s a surprisingly fully featured boxing aside involving a freakishly strong student, while the dancing club hosts a robustly entertaining rhythmaction game with a range of unlockable steps and styles.
