Our take on Azrael
Rather than treating crime scenes as static locations, the investigation uses occult powers to revisit them. The case also connects exploration with suspect interviews: evidence gathered in one setting can inform questioning, while the office board provides a separate space to organize a theory.
What is Azrael?
Azrael is a first-person horror investigation game about a killing within a circle of friends.
As a detective with supernatural abilities, players can return to past crime locations, examine disturbing settings, and gather evidence. Information discovered during investigations can guide conversations with suspects, revealing their responses and helping shape a theory. The case also includes environmental puzzles. Remaining in the realm of the deceased for an extended period causes sanity to fall. In the detective’s office, a board organizes collected findings, supports case analysis, and helps plan questioning. The central objective is to determine which person is responsible for the series of murders.
