Portopia Renzoku Satsujin Jiken (ãƒãƒ¼ãƒˆãƒ”ア連続殺人事件, literally The Portopia Serial Murder Incident), also known as The Portopia Serial Murder Case, is an adventure game designed by Yuji Horii and published by Enix (now Square Enix). It was first released on the NEC PC-6001 in June 1983, and later ported to other personal computers. Chunsoft ported the game to the Family Computer (or Famicom), the Japanese version of the Nintendo Entertainment System (or NES), on November 29, 1985, and to different mobile phone services starting in 2001. It is the first part of the Yuuji Horii Mysteries trilogy, along with its successors Hokkaido Chain Murder: The Disappearance of Ohotsuku (北海é“連鎖殺人 オホーツクã«æ¶ˆã‚†, Hokkaidou Rensa Satsujin: Ohotsuku ni Kiyu, 1984) and The Karuizawa Kidnapping Guide (軽井沢誘æ‹æ¡ˆå†…, Karuizawa Yuukai Annai, 1985).
The game is an investigation adventure, sophisticated for its time, in which the player must resolve a murder mystery by searching for clues, exploring different areas, interacting with characters, and solving item-based puzzles. The game, especially its Famicom version, was received positively in Japan, where it was an influential title that defined the visual novel genre. An unofficial English fan translation of the Famicom version was released on June 16, 2006 by DvD Translations. DvD Translations released an improved Rev. B patch on October 31, 2010.
