11 itemsAbout the Game
This edition collects all 11 cases from the cult, award-winning investigative adventure series Dead Detective, originally released during the golden age of browser games, now brought together in a definitive version featuring improved graphics, an updated interface, and a refined deduction system.
WARNING: You do not need to be dead to play this game. But it might help.
We all knew it would happen eventually: zombies have taken over the planet, and their victory has been absolute.
But zombie society still has its problems.
First among them: crime.
Play as Margh, an undead private detective, and solve bizarre and unconventional mysteries with the help of his loyal but constantly hungry assistant Ghvnn, in this hilarious and offbeat point-and-click adventure featuring an elaborate “deaduction” system.
Visit crime scenes, interrogate rotting suspects and eccentric witnesses, solve puzzles, gather clues, and use your brain (or what remains of it) to piece everything together and reach the conclusion of each case. Hopefully the right one.
Between shady neuron dealers, the zombie mafia, gentleman thieves, and mysterious robberies, Margh will certainly have his hands full.
But who knows, between one case and another, he might even uncover the greatest mystery of zombie society: the one that lies behind its very rise to power.
And perhaps Ghvnn will finally manage to satiate his hunger for brains…though that might be asking a bit too much.
One thing is certain:
FEATURES
11 cases to solve, each stranger than the last
at least 3 different endings for each case
An intuitive “deaduction” system that will really make you use your brain
A simple and modern point-and-click interface
Instant translation from “Zombiesh” to English (be warned: zombies tend to say “brains” quite often)
In-game hint system
