Lamplight City

In the industrial port city of New Bretagne, former police detective Miles Fordham works as a private investigator. As he takes on clients’ cases, he also pursues the killer of his former partner, whose voice continues to speak to him. Investigate crime scenes and locations, question witnesses and suspects, and gather clues and documents in a casebook. The single-click interface has no traditional inventory; discoveries inform your conversations and investigations. The story spans five cases with multiple suspects, false leads, and possible outcomes. Your choices can affect characters’ attitudes and how cases turn out, including accusing the wrong person or moving on when a case cannot be solved. The cases connect to an unfolding story shaped by your decisions.

As a private investigator in a steampunk port city, Miles Fordham questions suspects and solves cases while haunted by his dead partner.
