Detective Story

Detective Story is a compact indie mystery adventure built around investigation, exploration, and environmental challenges. Developed by LTZinc and published by Conglomerate 5, it follows Harold, a detective who arrives in the small town of Sherwood to investigate a disturbing series of murders. The setup immediately establishes a darker tone, but the game does not attempt to become an elaborate crime-solving simulator. Instead, it combines traditional detective activities with straightforward adventure mechanics, creating an accessible experience for players who enjoy smaller and more experimental mystery games. Harold is presented as a good-natured investigator who wants to help people, and his latest case quickly becomes a search for the individual responsible for the killings. Progress requires exploring different locations, looking for clues, collecting important information, and communicating with witnesses. These elements provide the foundation of the investigation and encourage players to pay attention to their surroundings. The detective mechanics are relatively simple, so there are no enormously complicated deduction systems or realistic forensic procedures to master. Th…

The story was mediocre even awful. The maze was boring, and the end was kinda obvious.

There is no way to put this nicely. This game has nothing that would make it a game. There is no detective decision making process in the game apart from one trivial case. The game is broken to the level where you can just walk through maps if you want (except the labyrinth part). It takes six (!!!) minutes to finish the game. The music that you hear in the trailer is all that you get, both in the menu and during every scene in the game. There is an english version of the game, but it uses really bad grammar at some places. I'm fairly sure that this was a school project of someone. If you buy this game, the only value you get out of it is the knowledge that you supported a potential future game developer.

Would not recommand

i think i might be the first person to play this game but i can happily say this is the perfect game to beat in 21 min and 47 sec

[h1] This 'game' is a scam! [/h1] I'm gonna save you 10 minutes: [i]'The killer is the doctor that you can see the portrait of in the fifth screenshot, the end'.[/i] [hr][/hr] If playing video games is one of your hobbies you are bound to get a few hits and mess, especially if you buy a couple of them in a bungle, in this case, you should completely skip this game. At least for me, this wasn't a £10 game, but it was still annoying, to say the least knowing I could have avoided this by doing more research into this game or playing it sooner and getting a refund, (I guess I would never learn). Don't let the premade assets trick you into thinking this is gonna be a decent game, it's not. The dialogues are barebone and flat, being more focused on moving from another premade location to the next without any no form of interactive gameplay, like collecting clues or making choices which would have been a cool idea to be implemented in the RPGMaker engine, but no we don't get that which is a shame. The way this game ended is just an 'L' to anyone who bothers to play it. If you don't believe me just look at the other recent negative reviews and compare them to the sketchy positive ones…
