Folio Detective

Step into the boots of a master investigator and solve dark, atmospheric murder mysteries drawn from the pages of classic literature and horror.

Folio Detective is an immersive point-and-click investigation game that combines the narrative depth of classic detective fiction with an interactive interrogation system. Explore handcrafted, darkly stylized crime scenes, examine physical evidence, and construct your case file — using a custom interface where the questions you type directly influence how you uncover the story.

CLASSIC LITERATURE MEETS DARK 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 the subtle details, follow your instincts, and uncover the truth through pure logic, keen observation, and structured narrative deduction.

Forget clicking through fixed dialogue choices. Folio Detective features an interactive interrogation system that adapts to your line of questioning.
