About The Occult Detective

English Localization in Progress!!! 

We are excited to share that the English version of The Occult Detective is officially under development! Please stay tuned for more updates.
The Occult Detective is a narrative-driven game blending rigorous logic of classic detective fiction with unsettling supernatural mysteries. You will be discovering vital clues in every case, diving into unscripted interrogations and uncovering truths that break minds.Play as a rookie investigator for the A.I.B. (Agency of Investigating the Bizarre). Your job? To secure unknown artifacts, suppress forbidden powers, and solve murders that defy the laws of physics.

KEY FEATURES

🗣️ Unscripted & AI-Driven InterrogationsTired of linear games where you just click until you find the "one true evidence"? We break the rigid structure by integrating large language models (LLMs) to power our NPC dialogue.
  • Investigate at your own pace: Collect evidence and connect clues freely.
  • Talk Directly to Suspects: Question every suspect in a truly unscripted manner using natural language (text input).
  • Logic vs. Lie: Your goal is to use physical evidence to push their personalized defenses, not just click through pre-written dialogue trees. You lead the interrogation.
👁️ Even Anomalies Leave TracesWelcome to this world touched by mysterious secrets. Here, shadow organizations safeguard relics of lost gods, while desperate souls in the city’s underbelly whisper of forbidden rituals. As an investigator, you must untangle a web of mysteries where the suspects may not be entirely human, but the motive is always grounded in cold, hard logic.🔍 Deduction Above AllWe focus on "New Orthodox Mystery" where deduction is paramount. Even in a world of supernatural abilities, the rules of deduction still apply. You must reconstruct the crime scene, understand the specific "rules" of the artifacts involved, and expose the killer through pure reasoning.📚 A Sprawling 400k-Word SagaPrepare for a deep dive. With over 400,000 words of intricate storytelling, The Occult Detective offers a dense visual novel experience filled with hidden secrets and unforgettable characters. Every conversation matters. Every text log counts.It's time to see the world for what it truly is. Your investigation begins NOW.

先说结论:想法是好的,但是上升空间巨大。主要是缺打磨缺经费缺Eureka moment。评价为大杯,值得一玩,可以期待下一部作品。 用AI的想法真的很好,在推理的最后一步自己写出答案比幸运四选一爽太多了。不过普通的询问还是得靠出示证物,打字根本没用,当然这也避免了开局一通瞎猜就通关了的尴尬。AI的判定和机制还略欠调教,用带点引导性的话术,npc就会自爆。谜题和神秘侧的能力设计中规中矩。遗憾的是还缺点想象力,没什么让人直呼woc的设计、诡计或反转,大多数都很好猜。反派的动机不错,人设立住了,不过身份和目的也很好猜。剧情上最后主角做出的选择很能打动人,好评。不过别的细节上就有很多槽点欠合理化打磨。 可能我对这个作品的期待太高了吧,毕竟它用了某知名IP的部分魔药体系和背景。这或许不是一个好选择。既然借鉴了,就一定会被比较,而原作小说各方面都太强了,后来者很难在人物、情节、世界观甚至解谜性上超越它,只能从游戏特有的交互性、分支剧情和多结局这方面下功夫,而这对于小体量、小制作的游戏来说很难。而且原作很大程度上限制了后来者的想象力,容易变得套路化。(比如第四章某角色的身份一出来我就猜到ta可能是个滋味不错的) 不过作为原作粉丝,还是很高兴看到这个世界观下的作品。不知道会不会出续作?
Not recommended Dec 3, 2025
元素太多,最后成了四不像。不如好好写好故事。尤其自由输入部分,严重影响游戏体验(主机断网时无法继续游戏)。也遇到好几次穿模卡机的问题。更不喜欢好感度体系,隐藏结局并没有多吸引人却要各种花心思讨好NPC。但鉴于价格合理,也是可以一玩的。
