About
The careless romance and glamour of the Roaring ‘20s in America are over; poverty and crime run rampant in the grimy streets of the Great Depression. Jack Finch, a reclusive but hard-nosed detective, has sworn he’ll never work with another partner again. But his boss doesn't much care about him vowing to work alone – and soon he finds himself teamed up with the newly graduated police dog Archie. He might want nothing to do with the spunky canine, but with a mass murderer on the loose and an ever-growing case file, the new team has to learn to work together if they want to catch the culprit and restore peace to the city…
COOP PLAY: CHOOSE THE COP OR THE DOG
Finch & Archie is a two-player co-op. You can choose to be either the weathered detective Jack Finch or the good boy Archie. Please don’t fight over who gets to be the dog.
FIND A WAY TO COMMUNICATE WITH YOUR PARTNER
Because you are a human-dog partnership, communication does not come easy. You will have to be creative to explain your findings to your partner. The mystery cannot be solved without sharing evidence between yourselves – but unless you speak dog (or can bark in human), you’ll need to find creative ways to communicate with your partner…
BRING YOUR UNIQUE SKILLS TO THE INVESTIGATION
Both Finch and Archie bring their own strengths and unique skills to the investigation. Use either your magnifying glass or your excellent sense of smell to find and gather evidence that will help you with your case.
INTERROGATE SUSPECTS AND WITNESSES
Suspects can be as wily as witnesses can be unreliable. Question their motives, find out their alibis, poke holes in their testimonies, and use evidence to catch them in lies and contradictions.
ANOTHER NIGHT, ANOTHER CASE
Dive deep into a collection of hard-boiled, noir crime stories set in the Great Depression. Finch & Archie is an episodic game, and each episode opens a new investigation – but they are all tied into an overarching story.

省流:We need Chinese language support. 开发者你好!这款全新的解谜游戏刚推出就吸引了我的注意。从简介和截图来看,独特的美术风格和谜题构思非常特别。如果未来能加入中文支持,将能让我们无障碍地领略所有设计的巧思,也更容易推荐给更多朋友。衷心期待。 Hello developer! This brand new puzzle game caught my eye right after its release. Judging by the description and screenshots, the art style and puzzle concepts look truly distinctive. If Chinese language support could be added in the future, it would let us appreciate every thoughtful detail without barriers and make it much easier to recommend to others. Sincerely hope to see it.
My dog and I need Chinese.
Pretty fun and unique with the communication challenge aspect, its the closest we're going to get to a Co-op style LA Noire. I do think there are some adjustments needed though, from a technical aspect V-Sync brings my GPU up to 99% usage (5070) which I imagine that's U5's doing. I also think it could do with some more guidance especially towards the end no one likes hand holding in a puzzle game but we got stuck for around an hour at the end with all the clue's but clearly missing something. Its a bit demoralising getting so far then feeling frustrated when you give up knowing all your progression is lost. But it did come out today so you got to give the benefit of the doubt. We will a million percent give the game another go in a months time or so. A bit of time to let the team give the game another layer of polish. Would 100% still suggest playing. worth the price. Looks great too.
Everything Great, Accusation is way too complicated, and Needs to be addressed better. we figure it out who did it, but I feel like the execution need's to be different.
This was a really enjoyable game to play, but when it came to the end accusation section it was incredibly frustrating. We figured out who had done it, and who we felt absolutely certain was the person we wanted to accuse - but we couldn't as the clues we had were, for one reason or another, not adding up. I think that maybe it would be more enjoyable to have it lock in place once the correct answer was there. Or even just have a setting that allows for it, to prevent people from potentially just quickly rushing through something, but it would make it a lot more enjoyable knowing there is an option to get through - maybe we had a poorly communicated clue that didn't make sense in hindsight, unsure.
The setting, writing, art, and music are so fun! Me and my sister played this and we cant help but be charmed by just everything in the game. We did get one bug though in the first chapter [spoiler] archie couldnt get the cigar for a rat [/spoiler], and because of that we couldnt finish gathering the clues for one of the case files. It didnt ruin our enjoyment or anything (just hoping this will get fixed soon!).
If you play this and follow the guidelines of just using messaging in the game to share clues, it's an awful lot of fun. Although I played with a friend and we were on Discord, it was honestly a hoot and a half trying to use the basic language system to communicate. There were a lot of laughs. Though I will object to not being able to says "suss" as one of the words. I mean, is this an Aussie game or not?! All in all, my friend and I had a blast streaming it together and cannot wait for the rest of the cases to be released. JUSTICE FOR MAX!
What an incredible game. Very much looking forward to the next cases. This had my friend and I in knots over information for a number of hours. Massive thumbs up.
Am so happy with the game so far and cannot wait for more! Play tested the first sequence of this game when play testing started and it was really fun with the small section that was released. The second the first story implement was added I jumped on with my girlfriend and it was so good. The story progressed at a good pace, the level design made it easy to understand what was next without hand holding your hand too much, the puzzles were thought provoking but not hard enough to frustrate you and I was always stoked when a piece of lore circled back to connect to something I wasnt sure on. I'm super excited to see where this game goes and cant wait for a full release.
It's a charming indie detective game meets the funny boardgame incoherent. plus one of you gets to be a dog.
