Instead of interrupting gameplay with traditional tutorials and pop-up windows, we're introducing a new in-world guidance system.
As you work through your first investigation, you'll receive messages directly on your in-game phone from the department, guiding you through the investigation naturally.
You'll learn how to:
Interrogate suspects
Present evidence during questioning
Spot contradictions
Build your case
Request an arrest warrant
We're also rebuilding the first case that will be included in the demo.
This investigation has been designed to introduce every major gameplay system step by step while still feeling like a real homicide investigation—not a tutorial.
By the end of the case, you'll have experienced the complete investigation workflow, from receiving the case to authorizing an arrest.
Alongside the new onboarding experience, we're continuing to improve many areas of the game, including:
A more immersive investigation flow
Improved interrogation mechanics
Better evidence progression
A redesigned arrest system
Interface and usability improvements
We're incredibly excited to share these updates with you and can't wait to let everyone experience the new opening of Homicide Desk.
See you soon, Detective.
