Our take on Valerie Porter and the Scarlet Scandal™
Rather than centering a casual mystery on a passive observer, the game places an aspiring reporter at the heart of the investigation. Its structure combines hidden-object searches with journalism-themed mini-games, replacing a single repeated search format with several investigation types.
What is Valerie Porter and the Scarlet Scandal™?
Play as an aspiring reporter pursuing a first major story in 1920s journalism.
The investigation begins with a high-profile murder, a cover-up, and an innocent man being framed. Progress involves searching for hidden clues, finding missing objects, and collecting enough evidence to resolve the case. The game includes 21 locations, 48 search screens, and 11 chapters.
