About the Game

Mike and Tyler is a dialogue-free point-and-click detective adventure inspired by the stylish crime stories of the ’80s — think Miami Vice vibes, neon-soaked locations, and sharp suits.

Take control of two unconventional detectives as they investigate a mysterious murder through forensic analysis, visual clues, and puzzle-driven deduction. There are no text conversations and no spoken lines — everything is communicated through expressive visuals, environments, and gameplay.

This is not a story you read.
It’s a case you solve.

FEATURES

  • Forensic Investigation Gameplay

Examine physical evidence, compare details, and identify subtle patterns that connect clues to suspects.

  • Pure Visual Deduction

No dialogue, no text conversations — every conclusion comes from observation and logical thinking.

  • Control Two Detectives

Switch between Mike and Tyler and use both characters together to solve puzzles that require cooperation and timing.

  • Puzzle-First Design

Progress through cleverly designed puzzles rather than dialogue trees or story choices.

  • Stylized Retro Presentation

A clean, expressive visual style with comic-inspired elements that tell a story without words.
