Unsolved Case: The Scarlet Hyacinth - Collector's Edition

About

You’re thrust into a tangled web of crime as a string of violent incidents unfolds around you. A murder in a backstreet, a shooting at work, and daylight kidnappings all tie together in a case you must figure out. Use dialogue choices and investigative tools to piece together clues, interrogate suspects, and navigate branching storylines. The game blends traditional adventure mechanics with RPG-style decision-making, letting you shape the outcome through your approach to each mystery. The Collector’s Edition includes bonus content like concept art and behind-the-scenes features. It launched in July 2023 across PlayStation, Xbox, PC, and Switch. Players highlight its layered narratives and how small choices ripple into major consequences. While not a visual standout, the mystery keeps turning with over 20 hours of content. Some found the pacing uneven but praised the final act’s twists.
