Game Guide for A Detective Story

A Detective Story - Game Guide

Think like a real detective and understand people's psychology is the key to crack a case.

General guidance:

  • Your mission: Solve the murder as efficiently as possible - minimize days elapsed and questions spent.
  • Bringing suspects to the station costs valuable time (days). Choose your interviews with care.
  • These are informal interrogations - no formal oaths, no truth serum. Witnesses and suspects may deceive, omit, or hide the truth.
  • You have only 3 questions per interview. Make every one count.
  • Stay in character for maximum immersion: Ask about alibis, relationships, timelines, strange sightings, and contradictions.
  • Cross-check stories, hunt inconsistencies, and link conversations to evidence found on the map.
  • Don’t just identify the culprit - uncover what really happened.
  • There are three alternative endings!
  • Some people only show up at locations at specific times.
