Detective Jones: The Misplaced

Story:
Have you ever had a day where you feel you're misplaced? A day where you feel like you're in the entirely wrong universe? That's how Detective Jones feels everyday of his new life. A cold, hard-boiled detective, set in a fantasy world of heroes and demons, Detective Jones hasn't worked on any case since he arrived... Until one day, he learns about a string of murders that aren't committed by the demons. Nobody besides Detective Jones has investigation skills in this world, so it's up to him to solve it. Can Detective Jones really fit into this world, or is he just bound to flounder in the land of magic for the rest of his life?

Gameplay:
The gameplay is a mix between an RPG and a point-and-click adventure. Inside of investigation rooms, you can look around and find items, either for battles or puzzles. These segments progress you into the story, and can also unlock new areas and give you partners to fight enemies with.

An investigation room. This one is outside of Jone's office.
There are certain pathways to get to other investigation rooms known as fighting rooms. These rooms contain enemies to fight, so you can level up and fight better enemies later on. During fighting segments, you can investigate items and enemies to learn about their traits or possibly how to beat them, at the cost of a turn. You can use your entire inventory during battle to fight enemies, sometimes yielding interesting results.
