Detective Agency

About this game

Detective Agency is a memorization test / training game where you are presented with a face or a scene and you must memorize as much information as possible in a short period of time. Then you are quizzed to see how much you remember. The time given is short, and the number and intricacy of details youre asked to recall is high, so it can be quite challenging, even on "novice" skill level. There is a practice mode which can help get you used to how the game works.Detective Agency is a point-and-click adventure game that was released in 1992 for MS-DOS. It is a classic mystery-solving game that blends detective work with elements of puzzle-solving and story-driven gameplay. Players take on the role of a private investigator working to solve various cases involving different criminal activities, with each case requiring keen observation, deduction, and analysis. Case-Based Gameplay: The game is divided into different cases that the player needs to solve, each with a unique mystery to uncover. Players begin by receiving a case file and must visit different locations, talk to suspects, and search for clues. Each case involves a combination of investigation, interviews, and forensic analysis. Players must analyze the evidence they gather to draw conclusions about what happened. Point-and-Click Mechanics: The game uses a point-and-click interface, typical of adventure games from the early 90s. Players click on objects, people, and locations to interact with them. The interface is intuitive, allowing players to easily navigate through the game’s environment and manage their inventory of items. Clue Gathering and Analysis: Players will collect clues, such as witness statements, physical evidence, and forensic reports. These clues need to be combined and analyzed in order to make sense of the case. Some cases require the player to analyze suspects behavior, compare witness statements, and test different theories. Dialogue and Interrogation: A key aspect of the game is the ability to interrogate suspects and witnesses. Players can ask questions to gather more information or uncover inconsistencies in the statements of the characters. Interrogation sessions allow players to ask specific questions based on the clues they’ve found, helping to steer the investigation forward. Inventory and Items: As players explore the world, they will find and collect items that may assist in solving the case. This includes items such as tools, documents, and evidence that may be essential to advancing the story. The inventory system allows players to use and combine items to solve puzzles or unlock new areas to investigate. Multiple Cases and Difficulty: The game includes multiple cases, and each one becomes progressively more challenging. As players solve each case, they will encounter more complex mysteries, requiring greater attention to detail and more careful deduction. Detective Agency presents a variety of cases involving different types of crimes, such as thefts, disappearances, and murders, each with its own set of clues and suspects.
