Alternate Jake Hunter: DAEDALUS The Awakening of Golden Jazz is now available on Steam. This new crime thriller is a prequel to the well-received Jake Hunter series of games.

Both long-time fans and newcomers to the Detective Saburo Jinguji adventure series are sure to find themselves immersed in yet another thrilling murder mystery. The never before told origin story of Saburo Jinguji is revealed in the first chapter of Alternate Jake Hunter: DAEDALUS The Awakening of Golden Jazz.

The story begins with the murder of Kyosuke, Saburo’s grandfather, who was living in New York. This causes the young Saburo to set off to the US and sort through the belongings and memories his grandfather left behind. He discovers that his grandfather's last word was “Daedalus.” To find what this means, and if it is related to the death of his grandfather, Saburo takes up the charge for his late grandfather. Kyosuke's words and teachings on the art of thinking echo throughout his quest, “Remember, Saburo: tend the orchard of your mind.”

Alternate Jake Hunter: DAEDALUS The Awakening of Golden Jazz makes use of a new 360 degree investigation mode, which allows the players to go through true detective work such as conducting interrogations and finding clues.
