You are searching for evidence at the crime scene, analyzing clues and finding the hidden stories behind each murder.

In this open-world game, you can freely travel to different places through the metro line, talking with people in dynamic conversations.

Each crime case would be independent of unit play. You act as a detective to choose which case you want to take. Once the game is updated with new cases, you may choose the case from the information center in the police station or the main menu.

Keemen Studio

DETECTIVE was developed by a solo developer who has been planning for this game for over three years and went through several iterations. Game development is completely my personal interest and not related to my current career. Starting the first Unity3D tutorial on YouTube in 2018, most of the skills are self-learned, including Unity3D Engine, game design, artwork, programming, and publishing. This game may have lots of places to be improved, please send your suggestions to keemen studio.
