Psycho-Sleuth Deluxe Edition

Mystery deduction

Psycho-Sleuth Deluxe Edition is a PC mystery deduction game set in a world controlled by the cult Li. Its trial offers 13 “Afflicted Ones” a path to godhood: commit murder without being exposed. Each person has a cognitive disorder that can distort how others perceive the crime scene. You investigate the murders and use evidence to work out what really happened and who is responsible.

Investigating crime scenes

After a murder, scan the room and click suspicious objects or abnormal details to collect clues. An evidence checklist helps you track what you’ve found, and close-up inspection lets you examine details. The distortions can change what’s visible: spatial neglect erases evidence from the left side of reality, while prosopagnosia makes faces unrecognizable. A body with severed limbs might also raise the question of whether a murder occurred or the victim suffered from Alien Limb Syndrome.
