Replay – The Silver Case
On Replay, we usually take a look at games that were released years ago. This week, we're doing something a bit different: although The Silver Case was released in Japan in 1999, it's only now become available in English via a PC, HD remaster.
The Silver Case was the first game developed by Grasshopper Manufacture, the studio lead by eccentric and legendary game designer Suda Goichi. Like most of Suda's work, it's incredibly weird, both thematically and mechanically. You kind of have to meet it on its own terms and roll with some of its weirder aspects.
That's why Andrew Reiner, Kyle Hiliard, Jeff Cork, and I decided to do the exact opposite: laugh at all the dialogue and make up voices for all the characters in this visual novel. You can watch us do that in the video below.

I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
