Hey everyone,
Like many of my fellow developers, I’ve been hit by the recent job market shifts. After 5 years of working as a Unity Mobile Engineer, I’ve decided to stop chasing corporate resumes for a moment and go back to why I started: making games.
My friend and I share a huge passion for board games and detective mysteries. We’ve teamed up to build a project that’s all about logic, narrative, and that "aha!" moment. It’s a complete departure from my usual tech stack, focusing instead on a web-based experience that feels like a real digital investigation.
We are not selling anything. We’re just two guys who finally have a playable build and we’re excited to show it to someone outside of our immediate circle.
We’ve just reached the stage where we need "detectives" to test our first cases. We need to know:
- Does the logic hold up, or are the puzzles too cryptic?
- Does the "detective" atmosphere land?
- Is the interface (evidence board, lab, chats) intuitive?
I’ve attached 4 screenshots below showing the intro, the evidence board, the crime lab, and the initial interaction with the inspector to give you a feel for the vibe.
I'm not posting any links here to respect the sub rules and avoid being "that guy" who spams.
If you’re a fan of the genre and want to help a fellow dev out, just drop a comment below or send me a DM. I’ll be happy to send you a key and all the necessary info to get started.
Cheers!
