Famicom Detective Club: The Girl Who Stands Behind - spoiler free walkthrough (Part 1)

by Chao Min Wu on 14 May, 2021

Welcome to RPG Site's guide for Famicom Detective Club: The Girl Who Stands Behind. Although the game is a point-and-click adventure and doesn't necessarily have negative consequences for making the wrong decisions. We still detail how to get through the game without spending too much time and get through the game as quickly as possible. When you have beaten Famicom Detective Club, the game will evaluate your personality based on the choices you make. So if you're following this guide, it would be really difficult for the game to evaluate your personality as you would clear the game really fast without wasting any time.

If you need help for the latter half of the game, please check out part 2 of this The Girl Who Stands Behind walkthrough. We have also made a guide for the predecessor game, The Missing Heir - hit the link to see that, if you want.
