Play the alpha demo, third place winner of Spookality 2021!


You Are The Detectives puts you in the gumshoes of one to four detectives from London's own Tower Investigations, the last remaining private investigations firm running in the wake of a massive bombing and firestorm that has destroyed much of the city centre. Work with others to beat a headscratcher of a case... or lose your head in the process.

Pick a role.

Pick from four distinct roles to help you solve the case. Puzzles and interactions change depending on what your character knows. You'll need to play as four roles to fully beat the case!

  • The Criminal has an eye for crime, being able to see hidden features of a room at a glance, and can pick most mundane locks in seconds.
  • The Lawyer's smooth tongue makes interviewing witnesses a breeze, and their head for books means they can research details quicker and better than anyone else.
  • The Doctor is a forensics expert, able to pull clues from a crime scene that nobody else can. They're generally a bit of a science genius, too.
  • The Hacker thinks data security is only a suggestion, and what they can break into with a keyboard, they can fix with a soldering iron or a welding tool.

Find the girl.

Emily Dartford went out on New Years to see the fireworks on the Embankment and never came home. Did she die to the New Years Bombing, or the firestorm that followed? And if she's dead, why is her credit card still being charged two months later? 

  • Talk to witnesses as a group or alone! Different detectives tackle the human element a bit differently, from the Lawyer's smooth speech to the hacker's stuttering nervousness. Say the right things with the right roles, and you'll find alternate ways of progressing.
  • Solve puzzles as a group or alone! Never again suffer through an obtuse adventure game puzzle because you missed something obvious - let one of your friends spot what you missed!
  • Experiment and replay to see what you missed! With four roles, you'll see different interactions and puzzles each time you play, with more than one solution to every puzzle and plenty of secrets to find.

Solve the case.

Just because you get to the end of the game doesn't mean you've solved the case. This case is going to need some proper deduction. Turn every stone, ask every question and talk to your friends - you're going to need every scrap of information  you can find to really be able to crack this one.

  • A multi-layered mystery that is unlikely to be fully beaten in one playthrough.
  • A cinematic detective horror experience to show your friends over and over again, with replayability to keep it fresh each time you play.
  • Good luck. You're going to need it.
