CHARACTERS: The main character of the series is Jake Hunter (known in Japan as Saburo Jinguji), a 32 year-old private detective who operates a detective agency in Aspicio, USA (Shinjuku, Tokyo in Japanese versions). He was born as the third son of a wealthy business enterprise owner, and traveled to New York during his youth to work as an assistant detective.

Within the game area there are few mini games such as a Slot machine, Black Jack and Joker. PLOT: At the End of the Dream Jinguji is tormented by hideous dreams of his past. The mystery begins as Yoko unwittingly decides to investigate a requested case.
