About this game

In Homicide Desk you work a homicide the way a real detective's desk works: a case file lands, a short list of suspects, and a screen full of tools. No waypoints, no glowing clues, no cutscenes telling you what to think. Read the evidence, run the lab, and question your suspects in your own words — then decide who you're willing to charge.

Get it right and the case closes. Get it wrong and Internal Affairs opens a file on you.

There is no dialogue tree. Type whatever you want and your suspect answers back in natural, conversational language — deflecting, rationalizing, contradicting themselves. Slide a document across the table and watch their stress meter spike. Push too hard on nothing and they lawyer up and walk. Corner them with the right evidence and the story finally cracks.

Everything lives on the desktop, and you have to actually use it:

  • Case files — dig through nested folders of reports, statements and photos.

  • Forensics lab — you don't click "analyze." You align the fingerprint, break the cipher, and calibrate the chromatograph yourself, against the clock.

  • phone records & photo evidence — flag the timestamp, cross-reference the calls, drag the UV light across the print.

  • Locked & sealed documents — some files won't open until you've earned the code or unsealed them in interrogation.

One city. Ravenport.

A rain-soaked, fictional port city in the Republic of Meridia, rendered as a CRT-era police OS — scanlines, a working world clock, weather on the taskbar, and a case that pushes back in real time with pressure emails and a mid-case twist.

Features

  • Free-text suspect interrogations that respond to your questions and your evidence

  • Hands-on forensics, phone-record and photo-analysis puzzles

  • A physical evidence board with string connections and a case-chain tracker

  • Written deductions with real consequences for a wrong arrest

  • Multiple guilty-party variants — reopen a solved case and the truth changes

  • A living precinct: salary economy, patrol dispatch, commissary, side games

  • Fully playable in English and Arabic, with full right-to-left support

The case is open, Detective. The desk is yours.
