A Detective Story

This is a pre-order, contents updates and polishing are in progress.

In the quiet town of Baytown, an unremarkable man lies dead under suspicious circumstances. Rumors ripple through the streets. Secrets long buried begin to surface. The whole community is buzzing - some in dread, others gripped by dark fascination.

A Detective Story is a detective simulator - you play the role of Ronan, a renowned detective and try to solve a local crime by interviewing suspects. Interrogate a cast of AI-powered townsfolk, each with their own motives, fragmented memories, and the potential to lie or mislead. Explore the map to uncover physical evidence and hidden clues. Piece it all together before time runs out.
