Homicide Desk has about 57 positive and 28 negative player reviews out of a total 85. We'll add a detailed breakdown here when there are more reviews.


In Homicide Desk you work a homicide the way a real detective's desk works: a case file lands, a short list of suspects, and a screen full of tools. No waypoints, no glowing clues, no cutscenes telling you what to think. Read the evidence, run the lab, and question your suspects in your own words — then decide who you're willing to charge.
Get it right and the case closes. Get it wrong and Internal Affairs opens a file on you.

There is no dialogue tree. Type whatever you want and your suspect answers back in natural, conversational language — deflecting, rationalizing, contradicting themselves. Slide a document across the table and watch their stress meter spike. Push too hard on nothing and they lawyer up and walk. Corner them with the right evidence and the story finally cracks.

Everything lives on the desktop, and you have to actually use it:
Case files — dig through nested folders of reports, statements and photos.
Forensics lab — you don't click "analyze." You align the fingerprint, break the cipher, and calibrate the chromatograph yourself, against the clock.
phone records & photo evidence — flag the timestamp, cross-reference the calls, drag the UV light across the print.
Locked & sealed documents — some files won't open until you've earned the code or unsealed them in interrogation.

A rain-soaked, fictional port city in the Republic of Meridia, rendered as a CRT-era police OS — scanlines, a working world clock, weather on the taskbar, and a case that pushes back in real time with pressure emails and a mid-case twist.

| AI disclosure | AI is used for one thing: suspect and witness replies during interrogation. Every case, the crime, the evidence, the suspects, the solution and the endings ,is fully hand-written. When you question a suspect, an AI language model phrases their reply live from what you ask and the evidence you present, constrained to the written facts of the case. The model ships inside the game and runs entirely on your PC, no server, no account, no internet connection, nothing you type leaves your computer. Output is text only, in-character, length-limited and filtered. |
