About the Game

Game Overview

Detective Trent is a narrative-driven detective investigation game focused on inquiry and deduction, inspired by Trent’s Last Case. You play as Detective Trent, visiting crime scenes, gathering clues, and confronting key figures as you piece together the truth amid layers of contradiction and deception.

Each act of deduction is not a simple “multiple-choice question,” but a judgment of evidence and human nature. Different judgments lead to different outcomes.

How You Solve the Case

Investigation
Search environments for suspicious details, uncover hidden clues, and gradually reconstruct the chain of events.

Dialogue
Engage in verbal sparring with witnesses and suspects, catch inconsistencies in wording and shifts in emotion, and extract crucial information from their testimonies.

Deduction
Connect clues into logical chains, form hypotheses, test contradictions, and identify the key individuals and motives.

Multiple Endings & High Replay Value

The truth does not always have a single version.
Your deductive approach, choice of evidence, and dialogue decisions will influence the direction of the case and the fate of its characters. Different lines of reasoning lead to different endings. Can you persist to the end amid misleading clues and carefully constructed lies?
