English Detective Mysteria, released in 2013 in Japan as 英国探偵ミステリア (Eikoku Tantei Mysteria), is an otome game visual novel for the PlayStation Portable.

Gameplay

English Detective Mysteria is classified as an otome game; like most otome games, the player takes the role of the main female character, Emily, who can choose from a variety of male characters as her love interest.[1]

Synopsis

At the end of the 19th century in England... Illuminating the nighttime streets of London covered in thick fog are gas lamps and the moonlight from between clouds.

Ladies and gentleman, be careful on the streets at night. Things like scoundrels and mysteries hiding in the streets might be aiming at you.

Cases too large for the highly prided English police force, Scotland Yard, are overflowing the streets. If you happen to get caught up in an incident... prepare yourself to accompany it.[2]

Characters

Most of the characters of English Detective Mysteria are inspired by famous figures of the detective mystery genre. Besides Sherlock Holmes' and Watson' respective offsprings, the game features Sara Marple, niece of Agatha Christie's Jane Marple and Jean Lupin, son of the French thief Arsène Lupin created by Maurice Leblanc. Characters Kenichirou Akechi and Seiji Kobayashi are an homage to Edogawa Ranpo's mystery series protagonists Kogoro Akechi and stepson Yoshio Kobayashi.[3]
