Our take on Dahlia View
The high-stakes missing-child premise frames the game as a detective thriller, while the described investigative actions focus on watching neighbours, entering restricted places, collecting evidence, and drawing conclusions.
What is Dahlia View?
Dahlia View is a detective thriller set in a neighbourhood filled with suspicion and deception.
A girl has disappeared, and the player takes the role of a retired detective who investigates despite not being on the case. The investigation involves watching neighbours from a window, entering places without permission, picking locks, and taking items as evidence. Players then decide how the clues connect through their own deductions. The story focuses on the people closest to the missing girl, with the investigation threatening relationships. The game takes inspiration from 1950s cinema and centres on a neighbourhood mystery involving accusations, concealed information, and a child whose life is at risk.
