"All in all, The Shapeshifting Detective is a functional but disappointing experience. The investigation lacks the twists and turns of a truly suspenseful narrative and the overriding feeling of weirdness is never really allowed to take centre stage. My initial playthrough seemed to end before it really got started and even though I correctly targeted the murderer, I didn't feel that this was anything more than a lucky guess. If you haven't yet played Doctor Dekker then I would recommend that over this any day. If the idea of a digital murder mystery night floats your boat, then there is still plenty to enjoy in The Shapeshifting Detective, but it does nothing to really advance the genre or push the envelope. It's sadly mediocre rather than transformative."

About
Dysan the Shapeshifter is a single-player RPG where you take on the role of a character who can transform into any creature they encounter. The game lets you shift into enemies or NPCs to gain advantages in combat or bypass obstacles. Gameplay mixes turn-based battles with exploration and dialogue choices. Transforming lets you use enemy abilities or manipulate situations by pretending to be someone else. The story focuses on navigating a fantasy world where adaptability is key. The game’s standout feature is its shape-shifting mechanic which adds layers to both combat and storytelling. While not a high-profile release it has a small but dedicated following on PC. Players who like creative problem-solving might appreciate the flexibility of changing forms. Launched in 2014 it remains a niche title with a focus on tactical role-playing over large worlds.
