About This Game

Seven murders planned. Seven religious tableaus designed.

One killer who calls himself the Messiah.

You are the lead investigator on the most disturbing serial case your city has ever seen. A killer with surgical precision is staging victims as works of sacred art—and a cult of 500+ followers worships him online.

Your only weapon? The contradictions witnesses can't hide.

How It Works

INTERROGATE WITNESSES
Question everyone at the crime scene. Press for details. Challenge their assumptions.

SPOT CONTRADICTIONS
Compare statements against evidence. Find the lies. Break their testimony.

BUILD THE PROFILE
Every breakthrough reveals new intel: a disguise, a skill, a mistake. Piece by piece, identify the Messiah.

Key Features

Deep Interrogation Mechanics – Analyze testimony statement-by-statement. Contradict using evidence to force witnesses to revise their stories.

Unreliable Witnesses – A priest who remembers nothing from a night. An urban explorer who conveniently lies . A security guard who signed off on fake maintenance crews. Everyone has reasons to lie.

Progressive Criminal Profiling – Start with nothing. Build a complete psychological and physical profile across 7 cases. Height, build, eye color, skills, methods—every detail matters.

The Delayed Cult – 500+ online followers post about murders before police discover them. They have inside knowledge. Some may be helping him.

Race Against Time – A man claiming to be the killer is dying in a pool of poison. Is he telling the truth, or is this another misdirection?

Moral Complexity – The killer believes he's creating divine art. The cult sees it as sacred judgment. Where does justice lie?

Escalating Threat – Each murder grows bolder. From locked churches to public monuments. From solo kills to organized teams. The final case threatens hundreds of lives.

The Seven Stations

Seven murders staged as religious symbolism. Each case reveals more about the killer. Each witness holds a fragment of truth.

The Holy Trinity – Cases 1-3: Father, Son, Holy Spirit
The Heavenly Messenger – Case 4: Heaven
The Damned – Case 5: Hell
The Purification – Case 6: Purgatory
The End Times – Case 7: Armageddon

Can You Stop the Seventh Crisis?

The Messiah is always three steps ahead.
The cult knows things before you do.
The witnesses are lying—or just helplessly confused.

But the truth doesn't change.

Contradictions expose lies.
Evidence reveals patterns.
Logic corners the guilty.

Find the contradictions. Build the profile. Catch the killer.

Before the seventh candle burns.

About the Critical Interrogator Series

CRITICAL INTERROGATOR: MESSIAH HUNT is the first entry in a franchise of detective interrogation games where logic, evidence, and careful observation are your only tools. Each game features a unique case with its own cast of witnesses, contradictions to uncover, and mysteries to solve.

From the Developer

Critical Interrogator was built on a simple philosophy: detective work should reward careful attention and logical thinking. Every witness statement is a puzzle. Every piece of evidence is a tool. Every contradiction is a breakthrough.

You won't find action sequences, hand-holding tutorials, or "detective vision" highlighting what to click. Just pure investigative gameplay where your intelligence and observation skills determine whether you catch the killer—or let him slip away.

The witnesses are waiting. The evidence is in your files. The Messiah is watching.

Can you see through the lies?
