See this girl on the left? Her name's Mackenzie. She may look like one of those ghosts in Asian horror films but I found myself loving her. I don't know why. And if you're feeling the same unexplainable attachment to her, you might want to pick up a copy of the game Touch Detective where she is featured.

Titled Osawari Tantei in Japan, Touch Detective revolves around Mackenzie's life after her father unexpectedly passed away. Inheriting the family business, a detective agency, she sets off to prove that she is worthy of being dubbed as the 'Touch Detective'. She is aided by a cheerful mushroom-man Funghi (and no, Funghi doesn't look anything like Mushroom of Mario's Mushroom Kingdom) and robotic servant Cromwell.

Sharing a publisher with Trauma Center: Under the Knife, this Nintendo DS game contains the same kind of innovative touch-screen gameplay. According to Project Leader of publisher Atlus U.S.A. Inc. Jamie Ortiz, “[Touch Detective] also has wonderfully unique character design, a great sense of humor, and a ton of challenging puzzles.”

There will be four bizarre cases you need to solve – including a stolen dream. Now how do you track something abstract? How can it be stolen in the first place?! Guess I have to wait till autumn when this game debuts to find out.
