The Hokkaido Serial Murder Case: The Okhotsk Disappearance ~Memories in Ice, Tearful Figurine~ is one of the best remakes I've seen besides being one of the best visual novels I've played. A mighty plot, charismatic characters, and immersive ambiance (both in the 1980's or nowadays). It's an excellent pick for the genre's enthusiasts. Its issues are evident and could have been easily fixed but it'd be disrespectful to not see the merit in one of the first works in the visual novel genre. A good pick for investigators looking for strange cases.

That said, The Hokkaido Serial Murder Case: The Okhotsk Disappearance is a game I would recommend any ADV fan to try out, but even with the Yuji Horii pedigree, it needed more TLC on the localisation and marketing for it to truly make waves outside of Japan.
