Step into a gripping, immersive mystery with Duskwood - Detective & Criminal, an interactive adventure game that blurs the line between fiction and reality. Set in a quiet, remote village surrounded by dense, ancient forests, the peace of Duskwood is shattered when a young woman named Hannah disappears without a trace. As the investigation unfolds, you will find yourself thrust into the center of a high-stakes criminal case where every decision carries weight.

A Deeply Immersive Mystery Experience

Unlike traditional point-and-click adventures, Duskwood - Detective & Criminal utilizes a realistic messenger interface to tell its story. The gameplay takes place within a real-looking chat environment, making you feel as though you are part of the investigation in real-time. After 72 hours of Hannah's disappearance, her friends suddenly receive a mysterious message from her phone—a message that contains only one thing: your phone number.

As you navigate the digital landscape of the investigation, you will engage with various gameplay mechanics designed to keep you on edge:

  • Interactive Storytelling: Navigate through text messages and make critical choices that impact the direction of the narrative.
  • Multimedia Investigation: Scour the chat for clues hidden within images, voicemails, videos, and mini-games.
  • Spy Mode: Utilize specialized tools to secretly read the chats of others to uncover hidden truths.
  • Social Dynamics: Join a crew of characters and build relationships, but remain vigilant—in Duskwood, knowing who to trust is just as important as finding the evidence.

The Secrets of the Forest

The setting of Duskwood plays a pivotal role in the atmosphere of the game. Known as a sleepy village where strangers rarely get lost, the area has long been shrouded in local legends regarding its mysterious and even scary forest. However, as the search for Hannah intensifies, these ancient legends seem to come alive, adding a layer of tension to the criminal investigation.

Developed by the author of the worldwide hit Dead City, this episodic adventure is designed to be played in parts, allowing players to dive into the story immediately without waiting for a full release. The game is built to be accessible and engaging, offering a completely free-to-play experience where players can support ongoing development through optional in-app purchases.
