Crime or Punishment
“Good cops solve crimes. Bad cops cause them. I sure as hell ain’t the first.”
As a Detective, it's your job to find the clues, link the evidence, and solve the murder. But you're no ordinary Detective, you're a corrupt one on the Mafia’s payroll.
In this game that reverses the role of a seeker of justice, it's up to you to alter evidence and fabricate clues to shift the blame from the real murderer, onto an innocent, who was just in the wrong place at the wrong time.
After all; crime pays.

Fun little game. Great concept. Reminds me of Overboard, but I actually prefer the execution here. Fun writing and voice acting, too. Good job!
Really fun writing! Great work capturing the vibe. What was the reference with the poster in the bathroom?
That's a poster for Charlie Chaplin in "The Gold Rush"
Cool thank you for the info!
A great little detective (or anti-detective game I guess) game, a lot of style and atmosphere. It's short and pretty easy, but would make a good tutorial level for something bigger. Keep it up guys, nice work!
nice indie game ; cool graphichs though simplistic , and nice storytelling, short lenght with great freedom of choice , overall a great project that will give a fun 10 minutes to players
