Folio Detective is an interactive investigation game that combines the narrative depth of classic crime fiction with an AI-powered interrogation system.

CLASSIC LITERATURE MEETS TRUE CRIME DEDUCTION

Step into rich, atmospheric worlds of impossible crimes, macabre murders, and unforgettable characters inspired by horror legends like Edgar Allan Poe. The analytical heavy lifting is entirely yours. Observe subtle details, follow your instincts, and uncover the truth through pure logic, keen observation, and structured narrative deduction.

DYNAMIC INTERROGATIONS & MYSTERY SOLVING

Forget clicking through fixed dialogue choices. Folio Detective features an interactive interrogation system that adapts to your line of questioning. Suspects respond according to their motives and personalities, carefully guarding their darkest secrets. Probe their psychology, spot contradictions in their statements, and extract crucial information needed to break the case wide open.

HOW TO SOLVE THE CASE

  • Explore the Scene: Search highly detailed environments, tap to uncover hidden evidence, and examine physical clues.
  • Interrogate Witnesses: Direct your own questions using our custom interface as witnesses and suspects reveal secrets based on your approach.
  • Spot Contradictions: Cross-reference physical evidence from the crime scene with witness testimony.
  • Build Your Case: Collect hidden information from your interviews to assemble a watertight case file.
  • Present Your Deductions: Submit your final case report and see if your logical reasoning stands up against the truth.

YOUR FIRST CASE: PARIS, JULY 1840
