  • Narrative RPG
  • Detective
  • No combat

An amnesiac detective investigates a murder in a decaying city. There's no combat: everything is solved through dialogue, skill checks and the voices in your own mind, which weigh in on every decision. Some of the most brilliant writing in the medium.

Why play it now

When you're in the mood for a story with lots of reading, sharp humour and decisions that shape who you are. With no rush and a desire to think.

Who it's for

For readers, lovers of role-playing and politics, and anyone who values writing over action.

When not to pick it

If you're tired or want action: it's almost all text and requires attention.
