Our take on Profession investigator
The defining detail is its document-led structure: investigation proceeds by reading case materials, recording findings, assigning examinations, and using newly obtained documents to rebuild events.
What is Profession investigator?
A text-based investigation simulator focused on criminal case files.
Players review documents, record relevant details in a notebook, direct an investigation team, and assign expert examinations. Actions can produce additional documents, which players use to reconstruct the events behind several tragic cases. The game draws on real criminal cases and uses terminology and descriptions modeled on professional investigation materials. Its preparation included court archives, examples of expert opinions, and specialized literature, with former investigators serving as consultants. The central activity is document work and analysis rather than weapon-based action, placing the focus on written evidence and the gradual reconstruction of each case.
