Coming Soon To Early Access

The developers of this game intend to release as a work in progress, developing with the feedback of players.

Note: Games in Early Access are not complete and may or may not change further. If you are not excited to play this game in its current state, then you should wait to see if the game progresses further in development. Learn more

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

Profiler Files will be available in Early Access until the official release of Version 1.0, scheduled for 2027.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“The Early Access launch will take place once 5 of the 10 episodes are completed and tested. Episode 6 will follow a few weeks later, then Episode 7 two months later, and so on.

Therefore, the full release of the game is expected 10 months after the Early Access launch — provided everything goes as planned. No reason it shouldn't, right?”

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

“In the final version:

• The entirety of the game's 10 episodes will be available, of course.
• Placeholders and other temporary assets will be replaced, as expected.
• The user interface and game systems (saves, rollback options, etc.) may change.

Otherwise, what you have in the Early Access version is already very close to what will be in the final release.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The development of Profiler Files is 75% complete.

• The game is fully playable in English and French, from the start to the finale of the latest episode. All possible endings for these episodes are implemented.

• There are still placeholders and provisional assets (graphics, videos, sounds...), though everything already implemented is as close as possible to the final result.

• There may be spelling mistakes in French and English, and some sentences will certainly be rewritten for better impact or idiomatic flow, but otherwise, everything's in place.

• The saving system works and should be compatible with the release version of the game, though we cannot guarantee this 100%. If your Early Access saves are not compatible with the final version, it'll just be a good reason to try other endings, right?”

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

“Yes, the Early Access version will launch with a 25% discount!”

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

“We will keep you regularly informed about the progress of the project on the official game website, our social media channels, and on Steam, of course.”

About This Game

A narrative investigation game with a unique atmosphere, blending the spirit of Ace Attorney with the psychological tension of Criminal Minds.

Yep, quite a gap, right?

Become a young FBI agent newly assigned to the field in the heart of New Orleans. In Profiler Files—a narrative investigation game with strong psychological elements—your choices, your instincts, and your analytical skills shape every case. Your decisions influence how the story unfolds, the fate of the characters… and the final outcome.

The way you interact with characters, the clues you uncover at crime scenes, and the psychological profiling you conduct on suspects, victims, and other protagonists—all of it determines how the story progresses, whether each investigation succeeds or fails… and ultimately, how the main overarching plot of Profiler Files concludes.

  • Interactive investigations & branching narrative — Multiple-choice dialogues, diverging story paths, and several possible endings deliver a highly replayable narrative experience.

  • Point-and-click investigation — Explore detailed crime scenes, gather evidence, interrogate key characters, and reconstruct the sequence of events behind each mystery.

  • Profiling & psychological deductions — Analyze behaviors, read between the lines, and apply behavioral insights to break down each suspect’s motivations.

  • Wild humor & memorable characters — Encounter a cast of eccentric personalities in an adventure that mixes offbeat comedy with tense, dramatic crime thriller elements.

  • 10 episodes, offering over 8 hours of adventure, with high replayability for anyone looking to discover the different possible endings for each episode!

Profiler Files – New Orleans blends narrative adventure, point-and-click investigation, and visual novel storytelling into a single experience.

Its combination of humor, mystery, drama, and psychology ensures that every playthrough feels fresh and uniquely yours.

If you enjoy:

  • Investigations, suspense, and criminal intrigue,

  • Story-driven gameplay with meaningful choices,

  • A blend of humor and darker narrative themes,

  • Point-and-click adventure games and investigation-focused visual novels

Then you’re the perfect profile for Profiler Files – New Orleans!

AI Generated Content Disclosure

The developers describe how their game uses AI Generated Content like this:

During the development process, we use procedural- and AI-based tools to assist with content creation. In all such cases, the final product reflects the creativity and expression of our own development team. Examples include some graphics, sounds and use of AI to help on specific programming questions. We also use AI to check our translations. Yeah, we're kinda dumd, sometimes.
BUT, and we insist on this: the story, texts, dialogs, jokes (good and bad), narration, blablabla, are 100% human. And always will be.

Mature Content Description

The developers describe the content like this:

Some themes in the game may be serious and disturbing, including sexual innuendos, references to drugs and alcohol, and depictions of reprehensible criminal acts, etc. If addressed with humor and subtlety and not intended to shock, we want to caution players about their potentially unsettling nature.
