Dr. Doyle & The Mystery of the Cloche Hat

About

Dr. Doyle & The Mystery of the Cloche Hat is a point-and-click adventure that drops you into a 1920s British village tangled in secrets. You play as the morally flexible Dr. Doyle, piecing together a murder case after a former convict’s body turns up in an alley. Click to examine scenes, collect evidence, and question locals whose stories don’t always add up. Every interaction shapes your understanding of the crime, with your choices determining who ends up blamed for the cloche hat mystery. The game leans into noir-inspired visuals and a script packed with dry wit, giving its small-town drama a sharp edge. While the story doesn’t reinvent the genre, its tight puzzles and character quirks keep it engaging. Players used to classic adventure games will find familiar beats here, but the writing and period details earn it a spot for fans of atmospheric mysteries. The 2017 release still holds up as a brisk, talky whodunit with a few twists to uncover.

Storyline

An unexplained break-in in the small hamlet of Prescott Lane draws the attention of Dr. Doyle, a man of questionable morality and unreserved inquisitiveness, who realises from the first that things aren't exactly how they seem. After the body of an ex-convict is found beaten to death in a dark alley, it is up to the Doctor to put the pieces together. Armed with his straps and his wits, the good Doctor sets out to find the truth and solve the mystery of the cloche hat.
