I had talked about this upcoming article for a while now. This is Human Entertainment's (Clock Tower, SOS/Septentrion, The Firemen) Mizzurna Falls, a game that shares similarities with Red Seeds Profile/Deadly Premonition (moreso than Shenmue). It is also a lost item in Japan.
With full article and load of pictures as well as a video, here it is, by EasternMind:

Wonderful work as always!

Ah, what a good find! It certainly seems to have similarities with Deadly Premonition (or Twin Peaks). It's such a shame that it was only released in Japan, though.

too bad the game is only japanese language/text &options, it's a little stodgy
