About This Game

Detective Workshop is a single-player collection of seven mystery game modes in one engine. Play alone, no need to gather a party.

Explore an ever-expanding mystery universe: a main storyline weaving together cases across time and space, side scripts delving into each character's past, and 100+ official scripts covering all seven modes — experience diverse stories and cases in a rich multiverse.

Choose your detective, build your deck, and shine across seven mystery modes.

Seven Modes, One Engine

Murder Mystery — Step in as a third-person detective: interrogate suspects, search crime scenes, piece together clues, and vote to identify the killer. Everyone's a suspect, and the killer won't confess.

Identity Hunt (Werewolf) — Night skill resolution → daytime speeches → exile voting, the classic loop fully evolved. Freely pick from 20+ roles, from Scout and Guardian to Shadow Hand and Enchantress — three-way battle between Good, Evil, and Neutral factions. Six personality archetypes drive the AI players: impulsive, cautious, suspicious, cunning… every game sounds different. Standard and advanced setups are randomly generated; action tracks are reviewable and detective notes are recordable. Play authentic werewolf without rounding up a party.

Undercover — Word description + voting elimination, light and casual deduction. Civilians and undercover players each tell their side — who's lying?

Visual Novel (AVG) — Pure branching narrative, multiple endings shaped by your choices. No searching, no voting — just story and decisions.

Tabletop RPG (TRPG) — Scene interaction + attribute checks, free-roaming roleplay. Meet attribute thresholds to unlock key options; every step has a cost.

Situation Puzzle — Lateral thinking puzzles, narrowing in on the truth through yes/no questions. Bizarre premises, chilling twists.

Creepypasta — Survive by following uncanny rules; every choice may trigger a taboo. Rules come true one by one — how many can you survive?

Mystery Universe: Main Story, Side Stories & 100+ Scripts

The main storyline spans the entire game, starting from a seemingly ordinary mansion murder and gradually unveiling a vast conspiracy stretching across modern, fantasy, xianxia, and even ancient eras. Clearing each main script unlocks new chapters and new playable areas.

Side scripts dive into each detective's past — why did they walk the path of deduction? What secrets do they carry? These stories trigger only under specific conditions.

100+ official scripts cover all seven modes, from 1-star beginner to 5-star hardcore, from 10-minute quick cases to 1-hour deep investigations. Every script is carefully designed with closed clue chains, self-consistent logic, and twist endings.

Detectives & Skill Cards

Detective Workshop features 10+ collectible detective characters, each with a unique persona, intelligence stat, and exclusive skill deck. Different characters mean radically different strategies — and each character excels in different modes.

Each character carries distinct skill cards: Clue Cards randomly uncover an unfound clue, Hint Cards offer case direction from the character (higher intelligence = sharper hints), Exclude Cards eliminate a suspect outright, Food Cards restore energy, Rest Cards skip a turn, Invention Cards craft one-time items… use cards wisely in Identity Hunt to turn the tide.

Unlock more detectives by clearing main scripts, completing character side achievements, and climbing ranks — find the detective that fits you best.
