©NCSX▪ Ever mischievous and trouble making, Loki is banished from Asgard to Middle Earth where he incarnates as a little brown-haired, green-eyed child. The condition for his return to the company of the Aesir is the capture of evil spirits on 'ol Midgard. To this end, Loki establishes the Enjaku Detective Agency which takes on supernatural assignments that have a greater likelihood of encountering discarnate spirits. Teamed with a rambunctious pink-haired girl named Mayura Daidouji and his son Ryuusuke Yamino (aka The Midgard Serpent), the Enjaku Detective Agency is retained for a new scenario that was written especially for the PS2 game. Loki's other children, Fenrir and Hel, accompany their father in the respective forms of a black dog and a little girl. The god of thunder, Thor, provides comic relief in the form of a lad named Narugami who has forgotten the way back to Asgard. As the story goes, paintings by a famous artist are disappearing and the Enjaku Detective Agency is retained to sniff out the culprit. Arriving at the gallery one evening, Loki and the gang launch an investigation and soon discover that things are not as they seem... View the back cover and screenshots on the main NCSX site. NCS Game Notes

Load Data
Option / Gallery * Upon starting a new game, the camera focuses in on an art gallery at night. Mayura, in Sakura Kusanaga outfit and pink hair, appears with her red eyes and mutterings of what's going on. The lip syncing isn't the best and she'll intonate long after the speech is done. * A series of locations appear and Loki may elect to go to one of four locales to learn more about the crime at hand. Queries may be selected from multiple choices for a progress pathway to next action. As characters are met and items obtained, new areas are opened up for Loki to explore and glean additional information from. * The game is played entirely in interactive menu options where Loki is given an order and he executes it accordingly. All of the dialogue in the game is accompanied by voice acting. * To review the past dialogue at any time, press the TRIANGLE button and scroll up to earlier conversations. * After about 15 minutes of play and establishing the gist of the adventure, an introductory cinema plays where Loki and friends appear in slow and steady cinematic sequences below a moon, in a field, and other locations. Loki's wings appear and flutter off a flock of feathers which drift off and end the intro. * The voice actors and actresses from the animation provided their vocal talents for the game. The alternate SKU# is SLPM-66141.
