This is actually half of a double pack along with The Missing Heir, as they were released together but are actually separate downloads. It’s obviously very similar to the other Detective Club game, and has some of the same characters. This one is set a few years before the other, however, at the start of your private detective career, and centres around investigating a murder in a high school (where you meet the girl who will become your partner in the other game).
The Girl Who Stands Behind of the title is one of those Japanese High School “7 wonders” things (a common Japanese trope), referencing a girl who some of the students swear they’ve seen or heard muttering behind them and are saying they’re the murderer. As with the previous game, there’s nothing supernatural here – it just seems like it might be. Also as before (or after, if you’re chronologicaling it) the plot hooks you, the art and acting are both great, and the slightly annoying choose-every-option story progression exists. Still well worth a play, though.
