Solve the murder of fashion icon Margot Voss in a noir murder mystery where every interaction is text-based.
Read the room, uncover hidden clues, and confront suspects using the evidence you capture.
Read the world through text
Scan the text in front of you and click on words to inspect the world, move between rooms, and uncover hidden clues. In Detective Turner, investigation begins with attention.
Capture evidence with your Polaroid camera
When something feels off, photograph it with your Polaroid camera and add the photo to your diary. Each photo becomes evidence you can carry forward into the case.
Interrogate suspects with your notebook
Present the Polaroids you have collected, challenge contradictions, and pressure suspects with what you have found. The truth comes out through the evidence you choose to use.
Unravel the murder of Margot Voss
Margot Voss, founder of the fashion magazine Mirage, was found dead during a private evening among friends, lovers, and colleagues. Each had their own history with her. Each had something to gain.
As Detective Turner pulls at the threads around her death, the case becomes more personal, and the line between duty and obsession begins to blur.
