Evaluation
Crime O'Clock launched on July 21, 2023 as a complete package — 40+ criminal cases, boss battles, Fulcrum Stories mode, Steam achievements, and cloud saves were all included at launch. The developer (Bad Seed) has not announced any DLC, expansions, season passes, or post-launch content for the game. There are no unreleased DLC entries in the store listing.
Following launch, the developer's only notable communication on the Crime O'Clock Steam page was a February 22, 2024 post announcing their next game, Quadroids — a separate title entirely. There have been no feature patches, major content drops, or roadmap posts for Crime O'Clock itself after its release date. The last developer communication related to Crime O'Clock content was the launch post on July 21, 2023.
The game appears to have shipped as a self-contained, finished product with no ongoing content cycle. Bad Seed has since moved on to developing and releasing other games, further reinforcing that Crime O'Clock's content development concluded at launch.

About this game
ALERT! ALERT!
TIMESHIFT CONTINUUM AT RISK!
Prevent crimes before they happen! It’s Crime O’Clock!
Investigate cases through time and evolving maps by unveiling a multi-eras linked story. Will you be observant enough to solve the mysteries? Crime waits for no man!
As a time detective, your job is to solve crimes through time that should never have happened!
Each map has multiple time markers to visit and use to resolve different cases of hacking, murder, theft, and much more.
But a common thread of strange events is developing over the centuries...
Something or someone is trying to disturb time, find it!
A HUGE zoomable map for each era is the playfield for the deductions and the search for clues.
YOU must proceed with a deductive method to combine the missing pieces.
By resolving cases the map changes and new adventures are unlocked.
As you can see, it's a point&click game; the only skill you need is your fully functional brain to unplan crime!
You will not be alone in your job: EVE, an advanced AI, will help you, providing guidance and tools.
Using EVE’s system, you have new ways to find clues and evidence: deductive sessions alternate with action and puzzle mechanics for a complete user experience.
During your adventure, EVE will upgrade its systems, unlocking new features...
During the investigation, you will explore five different ages:
- Steam Age, with automata, crazy inventions, and gothic mysteries
- Atlantean Age, with its magic crystals and its peaceful and utopian civilization.
- Information Age, based on the real city of Milan in Italy, the developers’ hometown.
It features some of the most iconic buildings such as Duomo di Milano, Castello Sforzesco, The Last Supper and many more! - Lost Age - the sands of time hide mysteries and technological marvels
- Aeon Age - bright lights, ruthless corporations and underground struggles - all hi-tech!
There's even more!
The Fulcrum Stories mode introduces a new and different way to play Crime O'Clock. Move freely and try to reconstitute the journey of 30+ characters andacross 10 times ticks. You might even recognized some of the characters...
