Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players who need prompts or hints to direct each investigation may hit a wall when the game leaves them to interpret the evidence alone.
- Those seeking a story-led mystery may bounce off the focus on observation, missing information, and player-made assumptions.
- Players looking for action-driven gameplay may find the investigation and reasoning structure too narrow.
Our take on Scene Investigators
The bounce point arrives when a case withholds part of its evidence. Players must move beyond spotting clues and construct plausible motives or explanations without hints, so uncertainty becomes part of the solving process rather than a temporary obstacle.
What is Scene Investigators?
Scene Investigators is a deductive mystery game set in the near future.
As a trainee seeking an investigator’s license, players examine reconstructed crime scenes and work toward solving each case. Progress depends on close observation, written notes, identifying connections between victims and perpetrators, and forming explanations for missing evidence. Scenes include environmental details such as marks, objects, and traces that contribute to the investigation. The game provides no hints, requiring players to interpret clues and make assumptions when a case lacks a complete set of evidence. It can also be played as a social mystery, with friends or family discussing observations and possible solutions together.
