Our take on Turlock Holmes
Rather than presenting a fixed set of dialogue choices, the game makes the player's questions the main investigative tool. Its mysteries begin with seemingly impossible situations, then unfold through yes-or-no responses, keyword discovery, and visual clarification.
What is Turlock Holmes?
Turlock Holmes is a single-player detective puzzle game built around lateral-thinking mysteries.
It contains 48 puzzles made by 15 authors, with difficulty ranging from low to high, and an AI quizmaster that answers questions using only yes or no. Players enter keywords, ask whether they relate to the mystery, and reconstruct seemingly illogical events from the responses. Coins can provide correct keywords when progress stops. As clues are found, each story becomes clearer visually. Completing a puzzle awards a collectible that can be worn by the Turtle character. The collection includes suspenseful, thriller-style, humorous, and dark scenarios, with the option to skip an unwanted puzzle.
