Suda51 is one of the industry's most colourful creators, and was behind such hits/experiments as Killer7, No More Heroes, and Lollipop Chainsaw. Among many other slices of bizarre Japanese awesomeness. His debut game from 1999, The Silver Case, which was originally released for the original Sony PlayStation is currently getting the remaster treatment. And there's a playable demo.

And it certainly looks and sounds like a Suda51 joint.

1999 - the "24 Wards". A string of mysterious serial killings plagues the city. The detectives of the 24 Wards Heinous Crimes Unit have their eyes on one man: Kamui Uehara, legendary serial killer and assassin of a number of government officials 20 years prior in the now-famous "Silver Case". However, nobody knows the true identity of Kamui.

Has he really returned? Who is this infamous serial killer?

The player takes control of the protagonist, a member of the Special Forces Unit “Republic”, from a first-person perspective. The game takes inspiration from the adventure and novel genres, leading the player through an in-depth story in which the truth is gradually revealed as they solve various puzzles, offering a fresh and unique experience.

The demo is available now over at Steam, so check it out.
