Get a feel for Touch Detective

For owners of the Nintendo DS (or those still looking for an excuse to buy one), it's a good time to be an adventure fan. With three different adventures on the horizon, the popular handheld is building momentum as a viable platform for the genre.

First up will be Touch Detective, a quirky detective mystery. As it nears its North American release next month, Atlus has now launched the official website for the game, which includes artwork, character information, and even a short trailer.

In Touch Detective, players take on the role of a young girl named Mackenzie, who inherits the family detective agency when her father passes away. In a "fantastic world of mystery and intrigue", Mackenzie must prove herself worthy to be called the Touch Detective. Along with her investigative assistant Funghi and her butler Cromwell, Mackenzie tackles four distinct cases, which include an additional twenty "mini-quests".

Using the DS stylus, players will "guide Mackenzie through crime scenes, talk to witnesses, and discover new evidence. Touching mysterious objects, people, or places allows essential case cracking clues to develop. The dual screens also enable players to simultaneously view clues, inventory, and maps throughout investigations."

A word of warning to anyone who visits the website, however... whatever you do, don't try to catch Funghi!
