Our take on Detective School Club
The focused investigation keeps the story compact, but the roughly 2-hour runtime leaves little room for a larger case or multiple investigations.
What is Detective School Club?
Join a school detective club led by Alice Baskerville, its shy and troublesome president.
The story follows the club's first case and asks players to investigate what happened. Examine evidence, connect clues to form hypotheses, and question witnesses to identify inconsistencies in their testimonies. Puzzle mini-games are part of the investigation, while a notepad records the evidence collected during the case. A final debate involves everyone connected to the incident, requiring players to choose an argument to support or deny accusations. The game presents a short comedy story with around 2 hours of gameplay and includes references to Sherlock Holmes.
