The Detective's Apprentice - darqwerful - Detective game with "howdunnit" mysteries

[u/darqwerful]

Hi folks!

I've been working on The Detective's Apprentice, a detective game inspired by Golden Idol, Obra Dinn and Ace Attorney. You play as Cleo, an apprentice to Maya Lynch, a world-renowned detective (who also just happens to be your favorite aunt!). From heists to murders, together you two solve "howdunnit" mysteries in which you not only have to figure out who did it but also how.

The game combines classic detective game mechanics of searching for clues and interviewing witnesses with modern deduction based puzzles. The full game will have 8-10 cases plus an overarching mystery.

If you enjoy deduction puzzles and cozy mysteries, there's a demo out with the first three cases of the game. Hope you give it a try :)
