Our take on DeTechtive 2112
Rather than building around a long, continuous campaign, the game uses five compact investigations with separate maps and mini-stories. Its detective framing is also paired with stealth, tactical choices, and direct combat, giving the case structure an action-oriented shape.
What is DeTechtive 2112?
Set in the year 2112, this story-driven action-adventure follows private investigator Matthew Wallace through the ruined remains of England.
Working with Abigail, he investigates an unofficial case involving the city’s elite and his own troubled history. The campaign contains 5 cases, each with a separate map, setting, and mystery. Players can approach encounters through stealth, tactical planning, or direct combat, either alone or in groups of up to 4. The main story usually takes around 3 hours to complete and uses a case-based structure for replayability. An additional Cyber Zombie Mode provides combat-focused play after the campaign. The setting uses a rain-soaked, neon-lit cyberpunk noir style.
