Gumshoe Detective Agency: The First Case

From the Devs

The year is 1995. A young heiress named Victoria Mason has gone missing.

As the newest hire at the Gumshoe Detective Agency, you’ve been assigned your very first case, and all you’ve got to go on is a clunky desktop, a dial-up connection, and a handful of suspicious files.

You'll dig through emails, websites, chat logs, and glitchy software in search of the truth. With every document you decrypt, every clue you drag into your evidence folder, the story will shift. And what started as a simple disappearance will soon unravel into something much, much bigger.

Who took Victoria Mason? And what were they trying to hide?
You’ll need to think like a detective. Or at least… click like one.

A Classic Mystery Told Through a 1990s Desktop

Easter eggs, red herrings, and that perfect mid-’90s paranoia vibe
