Our take on 流言侦探
The investigation is presented through a simulated chat app: players contact story characters and use clues in those conversations to move the case forward.
What is 流言侦探?
This interactive detective story combines novel-style reading with chat-based investigation.
Players take the role of a mysterious contact, speak with 10 characters, gather clues and use them in conversations to move the story forward. Choices reveal different sides of the events. The plot follows a group connected through the development of a chat app, where messages linked to a dead woman lead to a remote village in Yunnan and a suspected killer among her former friends. The game includes two story sections: “The Living Dead” and the side story “Bangkok Rainstorm,” which continues the timeline through a story told by N about events in Bangkok five years earlier. Chats can include voice, expressions and images.
