A Case of Distrust

Historical setting

A noir detective adventure set in 1920s San Francisco where you play a private investigator who catches suspects in lies using evidence and statements. Its bold black, white and red art style and themes of prejudice and self-doubt set it apart.

Best Served Cold

Dialogue and role-playing

You tend bar in a Prohibition-era speakeasy, mixing drinks and questioning customers to solve murders. It blends bartending simulation with mystery deduction and conversation.

We. The Revolution

Historical setting

You play a judge of the Revolutionary Tribunal in Paris during the French Revolution, weighing evidence, balancing factions and trying to avoid the guillotine yourself. Interrogations, clues and morally heavy verdicts drive a tense, comic-styled courtroom drama.

Mothmen 1966

Distinctive, stylised art style

A visual novel in a 1960s pulp style with pixel art reminiscent of old home computers. Set during the 1966 Leonid meteor shower, it tells an eerie, atmospheric tale of strange occurrences and moth-like beings.

Bohemian Killing

Choices with consequences

You face a murder trial in a steampunk Paris of the late 19th century, where nearly every testimony counts. You decide whether to lie, hunt for evidence or feign insanity, and that near-unlimited freedom is what sets the game apart.
