The Detective's Apprentice

About

You play as Cleo Ace, niece of a legendary detective, solving crimes that baffle local authorities. Each case is a puzzle of evidence, interviews, and logical leaps. You gather clues from crime scenes, cross-reference witness statements, and test theories to uncover twisted truths. The cases range from art heists to disappearances, each demanding careful observation and sharp reasoning. It's a single-player mystery game built around deduction, not combat. The game stands out for its tightly written mysteries and layered character interactions. Community reviews highlight the satisfying "aha" moments and the weight of each decision. With over 15,000 ratings averaging 82%, players praise its thoughtful pacing and lack of hand-holding.
