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.

Played with a friend over discord but we kept all the clues and evidence discussion over chat and it was fun trying to convey it with limited ways. The story was compelling and engaging all the same. Had a few bugs but wasn’t game breaking. Can’t wait for future updates!
2 Player cooperative game that creatively uses the differences between playable characters as a funny and interesting mechanic. -- Positives The division of responsibilities is done well where it felt like both players always had something to do while helping each other out. It's fun speaking to each other like cavemen and hoping the other person understands. The story is presented with several cutscenes with very beautiful ink-like art. Replaying the story was fun from the other perspective and there's replayability if you're a terrible detective (I am a terrible detective). -- Potential for growth The game currently is a little bit clunky in the menus but gameplay is fun. Some of the menus and UI could be improved but the devs are responsive and aware. -- Overall I'm excited for future updates and where this story progresses. It's a really fun game to play with a partner and really testing for your communication skills.

Excellent game
For a person who isnt into detective games all that much, Finch & Archie kept me hooked with its unique take on coop mystery games. I eagerly look forward to whats to come and cant wait to be impressed again.
I was pleasantly surprised that the gameplay of Finch and Archie was not like all the other typical co-op games out there. There is a very different gameplay experience depending on if you are the detective or the dog and it was still enjoyable replaying the same chapter with the other character. There is a heavy focus on gathering information that is provided through talking to the various characters in the game, all of which have a unique and engaging dialogue that enriches the experience. The game has a good balance of information given that made it not too hard but also not easy, and actually made me feel like a detective putting things together. The devs are on top of bug fixes and respond well to feedback. Excited for additional chapters to be released!
Short but fun. Communication system made us laugh. Neither of us felt like we were waiting around for our 'turn' or anything like some co-ops. No hand holding, but not so hard to be frustrating. Looking forward to future cases.
Finch & Archie provides a unique but refreshing approach compared to other detective games I've played. Had to play it twice just to experience playing both characters and the game really rewards you with a very different perspective even if you already know the plot. The depth of each character kept the story unpredictable and engaging - you really need to comb through each detail to paint the full story. I particularly enjoyed the evidence board, and exchanging information in-game. Accusation phase was a bit confusing - it'll help if the answer gets locked-in with each sentence instead of the entire suspect board. Couple of bugs but understandable during the early stages :) Great game whether you're a casual or avid gamer. Easy to play but will keep you on your toes all the way to the end. Can't wait for the full release!!
Finch & Archie is a really unique co-op detective game. Both characters solve mysteries in completely different ways. Finch talks to people and pieces together evidence, while Archie follows smells and talks to animals to uncover clues. The communication system is probably my favourite part. You can’t fully explain things to each other normally and instead have to communicate through restricted keyword chats. It makes every clue feel more important and leads to a lot of moments where you’re both trying to work things out together from incomplete information. It honestly makes the investigations feel way more engaging than if you could just explain everything instantly. The two roles complement each other really well and it actually feels like both players are equally important to solving the story. Really cool models and art style as well, I can’t wait for the next chapter.
很好玩!虽然bug有点多但是期待更新捏
This game was so much fun and was a lot of laughs. The things we said to each other when only being able to communicate with one syllable words had us saying the dumbest yet funniest things. I can't wait for the full release and be able to play more! If I had any feedback to give, it would be that not all one syllable words are able to be used, which does make it harder. I think opening up the vocab would be nicer since using words like "Pee" and "poo" should work. Def recommend though!!! 10/10! would play so many times over.
