About the Game

The truth is in the details.

In Forensics: Crime Scene Detective, you are the scientific authority that provides investigators with the facts. Your work begins when the sirens fade and silence settles over the crime scene.

With a cool head and a trained eye, you enter apartments, bars, and basements where something unimaginable has happened — or is said to have happened. Equipped with professional tools, you search for what others miss: a subtle fingerprint on a wine glass, a deleted message on a smartphone, a tiny blood spatter that casts doubt on a statement.

From Crime Scene to Laboratory:

Securing evidence is only the beginning. In the lab, the evidence tells its story. You compare DNA profiles, reconstruct bullet trajectories, decrypt digital devices, and piece together fragments into a clear overall picture. Your analyses incriminate perpetrators — or exonerate the innocent. Not every bloody crime scene is a murder. And not everything that seems obvious is the truth.

“Based on the experience and insights of experts from the State Criminal Police Office Rhineland-Palatinate (LKA RLP).”

With professional guidance from the State Criminal Police Office Rhineland-Palatinate, the game portrays forensic work as authentically as possible. Experience cases drawn from real life: sober, logical, and relentless in their evaluation of evidence. Find the traces. Analyze the facts. Reveal the truth.

  • Realistic Forensics:
    Use authentic tools such as DNA swabs, fingerprint powder, ballistic trajectory rods, and digital forensic tools.

  • 14 authentic Cases, Real Methods:
    Missions are inspired by real scenarios and based on the experience and insights of real experts from the State Criminal Police Office Rhineland-Palatinate (LKA RLP).

  • Crime Scene Work & Laboratory Analysis:
    The gameplay loop challenges you twice — first through meticulous crime scene investigation, then through logical data analysis in the lab.

  • Incriminate or Exonerate:
    Your work determines the fate of suspects. Discover whether it was self-defense, murder, an accident, or a staged crime scene.

  • Your Instinct Matters:
    You decide which traces are relevant. Overlooked evidence can leave a case unsolved.
