What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“This game was first released as a Steam Playtest version in order to get as much feedback as possible regarding the game concept.

During the Playtest we have received a lot of feedback and we have decided to implement a 3D version of the game, in order to try and make it more immersive, but still keep data we have collected, built and improved during the Playtest period.

We are releasing this game as Early Access in order to collect additional feedback from players regarding the 3D version, as we believe the 3D version will be the final revamp of the game.

However, even though the game is playable, there are lots of things that can be improved and polished in order to try and create a really cool version of the game and we are looking forward to getting feedback on the 3D version!”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We are planing to do a full release at the beginning of 2023.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“We will keep improving and polishing the game during the Early Access period based on player feedback. However, we do know we already want to implement:

- On-boarding and tutorial detective board to help players understand what they should do
- Steam achievements
- UI polishing
- 3D environment polishing
- Audio and voice polishing
- Improved Emma dialogue”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The Early Access version is fully playable with all (currently known) major features, but it is not polished.

During the Early Access period, we will be trying to fetch as much feedback as possible on what features work and do not work (for example, maybe the game is too hard or too ambiguous?), while polishing the existing features.

What we know will happen during the Early Access is:
- Adding more professional voice lines to Emma
- Achievements
- Improving graphics
- Improving the audio
- If possible, some kind of a notebook for the player to help them with their detective work”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“The goal of Early Access is to collect as much feedback as possible, and that's why the Early Access version will be free to download and play during this period.

After the Early Access period is over and we will be transferring the game to a proper full release, we are planing to moderately increase the price of this game.

We are fully aware that this is an indie-game title, and the price should reflect that, however we would like to increase the price in order to attempt to recover the investments we did during the development of the game.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“As during the Playtest, we will keep collecting feedback and data from our players.

Since it is an interrogation game, we do have systems in place to analyze what players are writing and if the outcome was expected and helpful for the player.

Apart from that, we encourage our players to post their feedback in the Steam community forums!”

Thank you for play testing this game - your feedback is important!

We want to explore the idea of creating an immersive mystery thriller interrogation game with a fully fleshed out and detailed story plot behind it.

This is why we have published a working early version of the game in order to get as much feedback as possible! So if you have time, please give us feedback (good or bad) using the in-game feedback button or on Steam - we would really appreciate it!

However, even though this is an early version and we have a long list of things we want to improve with the game going forward:

  • More and improved answers to player questions
  • Professional voice acting
  • More thriller and horror elements to the game
  • Better UI
  • Better suspenseful music and audio
  • Better cinematic (or maybe it should not be cinematic and game engine rendered?)
  • etc

So please give us feedback on this game concept as we want to try and build a really cool immersive experience! Thanks! \(^_^)/

Please note that the free Play Test version of the game, requires an Internet connection to play!

About This Game

A mysterious woman is sitting in front of you. Who is she? And who are you? And why are you both there? Case #1472 is mystery information digging interrogation thriller game where there are more things going on than what meets the eye, but are you able to unravel what has happened?

Premise

* There is a knock at the door, and someone enters the room. *


- Mrs. Emma Hollis, I presume? My name is Simon. I’m here to interview you about the recent events you were involved in.
- Shall we begin with an easy question?

What you are supposed to do

Imagine you enter a room and there is a mysterious woman sitting in front of you. The lightning in the room is so poor you can hardly see her face. Who is she?


As the player starting up this game for the first time, you truly will not know anything about the situation you've been thrown into.

Try and ask her questions (anything that you might find would be useful to ask) in order to see if you can understand what is going on.

Begin with an easy question and see where you go from there.

This game has no clear end

Unlike other games, this game has no clear definition of end. The premise of the game is that you are interrogating a mysterious woman. You can ask her any question as you wish and she will respond (to the best of her abilities). But how many questions you need to ask, which questions you need to ask and what information you are suppose to find is not clearly defined for you. If you feel like you have done a good job with the interrogation, simply end the game and walk away. However, the question you need to ask yourself is though, did you truly understand what is going on or did you miss something?


We created the game deliberately like this, as we wanted the game to be purely investigatory driven by the player. Any information you find and extract is solely thanks to your own imagination of asking questions and interrogating her. We also wanted this game to be a social cooperative experience. For example, you might play this game for while and then challenge or compare your findings with a friend. Did you both figure out the same information? Maybe you both unraveled two different key information and if you piece them together you both now understand the bigger picture?

Seeing that there is no clear end to this game, we encourage cooperative and information exchanging among friends, as well as on other discussion forums and platforms.

Game mechanics and features

  • This is an information digging interrogation game where the player may type and ask the woman any question they wish

  • The game has no clear end so the player can decide when to end the game at any time
  • Achievements
  • Custom made YouTube safe music soundtrack
