Our take on The Casebook of Arkady Smith
Instead of moving through one fixed mystery from beginning to end, the game divides investigation into selectable cases. Its structure also makes the player’s theory part of the outcome, with rankings and repeat attempts replacing a single final resolution.
What is The Casebook of Arkady Smith?
The Casebook of Arkady Smith is a third-person investigation adventure set in a futuristic city.
Players explore the city, look for concealed evidence, solve puzzles, and question suspects while working through separate crime cases. Each case contains ten clues and can be selected in any order through CitySec. After identifying a suspected murderer, motive, and method, players submit the theory to City Security for evaluation. Performance is ranked according to how well the case was solved. Worldwide leaderboards support replaying missions to improve scores and rankings. The game presents investigation as a series of open-city cases rather than a single fixed sequence, with the player’s conclusions determining whether each crime is considered solved.
