Earlier this summer, Nintendo released the unsettling first look at Emio - The Smiling Man, before revealing that it's a long-awaited sequel to the Famicom Detective Club games. The game will be arriving before the end of the month, but players won't have to wait that long to get their hands on it because the first chapter will be released as a demo next week.
Nintendo has announced that it will be releasing multiple demos for Emio - The Smiling Man, starting with Chapter 1 on August 19. Additional chapters will be added on August 22 and August 27. And in a nice touch, players' progress through each chapter can be carried over to the full game when it is released.
Play the opening chapters of Emio – The Smiling Man: Famicom Detective Club with a free demo, coming to #NintendoSwitch on 8/19 at 6pm PT.
