About the Game

Step into the world of Andrew Bell, a private investigator with his deceased wife still on his mind in the fictional city of Kelsden where he's trying to keep it going.

In this subtly narrative driven game, you'll solve five standalone cases. Each case unfolds in a linear, and/or puzzle oriented format, with the outcomes relying on your decisions. Get lucky, get unlucky, manage your time, hack, find shortcuts, investigate findings, play mini games, assess the environment, follow your thoughts, and get to the result of your choice by using different methods and right tools in each case. While the path is guided, the outcome is still in your hands.

Features:

  • Five handcrafted detective cases, Each one offering its own standalone mystery.

  • Puzzle driven investigations in a linear style, Logic and curiosity are your best tools.

  • Time and choices matter, Your actions shape how things unfold.

  • Less UI, more immersion, No clutter, just you and the case.

  • A focused experience rather than sandbox. Not a sandbox, but a compact and thoughtful journey.
