Game description: Shortly after an urban youth begins a year-long stay in the countryside town of Inaba, the rural town's peace is shattered by a horrific murder that leaves no clues or suspects. As the lone incident develops into a series of bizarre crimes, he discovers that only he and his friends have the power to solve the baffling case, bring those responsible to justice, and restore harmony to his new home.
The game focuses on story and character development. Multiple endings. NewGame+. experience with previous Titles of the series not needed.

Minor slowdown (down to 40ish FPS) in some boss fights but completely playable. Specific tweaks: 1) Use SSE4 which is hardware supported, otherwise AVX1/AVX2 will see slow down. 2) Direct3D9 is used (hardware supported again) although Direct3D11 is available, otherwise slow down again. 3) Scaling x2, which is maximum possible for laptop spec. Scale x1 will be faster but start to see polygons. 4) MTVU is checked to help reduce EE%, otherwise it will more likely reach 100% (laptop is quad-core). 5) LilyPad: make sure the D-Pad is not configured to hat switch (should be the axes) otherwise the in-game menu going to Town is broken.	siu shan
