Has anyone got any info on this release? For some reason I've added it to my list of buys even though I don't remembering doing so. From the little I found on Wiki it appears to be some kind of detective story (which appeals to me greatly) using English voice work.

If anyone has played it, a quick review/overview would be really helpful. Some screens would also be pretty useful but not essential. Also, even though the voice work is in English (according to Wiki at least), is it suitable for a non-Japanese speaker? Satakore has listed it as 20% playability for a non-Japanese speaking audience buit I'm thinking a could play it with a guide if need be.

I have The Unsolved on the PlayStation. If your interested in the game, then I'll assume you know the story has an X-Files type theme about aliens removing human organs thru their anus. I thought the best part of the intro movie was when the medical examiner used a scalpel on his submarine sandwich to demonstrate to the skeptical investigator how easily it could be done. LOL. The game uses American actors speaking English for the movies, but the VAST majority of the game uses slide show type pictures over Japanese text. If you can't read the text, you really can't follow the story along or make choices to progress. Personally I consider that to be "unplayable" and it's a shame because it looked like it was fairly adult and interesting.

Thanks, Spartacus.

I actually went back and read the Wiki page again and noticed that it said it was a text based adventure, so I assumed it would be unplayable. Shame, it sounded interesting.
