About
The truth is in the details.
In Forensics: Crime Scene Detective, you are the scientific authority that provides investigators with the facts. Your work begins when the sirens fade and silence settles over the crime scene.

With a cool head and a trained eye, you enter apartments, bars, and basements where something unimaginable has happened — or is said to have happened. Equipped with professional tools, you search for what others miss: a subtle fingerprint on a wine glass, a deleted message on a smartphone, a tiny blood spatter that casts doubt on a statement.

From Crime Scene to Laboratory:
Securing evidence is only the beginning. In the lab, the evidence tells its story. You compare DNA profiles, reconstruct bullet trajectories, decrypt digital devices, and piece together fragments into a clear overall picture. Your analyses incriminate perpetrators — or exonerate the innocent. Not every bloody crime scene is a murder. And not everything that seems obvious is the truth.

“Based on the experience and insights of experts from the State Criminal Police Office Rhineland-Palatinate (LKA RLP).”
With professional guidance from the State Criminal Police Office Rhineland-Palatinate, the game portrays forensic work as authentically as possible. Experience cases drawn from real life: sober, logical, and relentless in their evaluation of evidence. Find the traces. Analyze the facts. Reveal the truth.

Realistic Forensics:
Use authentic tools such as DNA swabs, fingerprint powder, ballistic trajectory rods, and digital forensic tools.
14 authentic Cases, Real Methods:
Missions are inspired by real scenarios and based on the experience and insights of real experts from the State Criminal Police Office Rhineland-Palatinate (LKA RLP).
Crime Scene Work & Laboratory Analysis:
The gameplay loop challenges you twice — first through meticulous crime scene investigation, then through logical data analysis in the lab.
Incriminate or Exonerate:
Your work determines the fate of suspects. Discover whether it was self-defense, murder, an accident, or a staged crime scene.
Your Instinct Matters:

Wie ich den Speicherchip im Tutorial lösen soll ist mir schleierhaft. An sich ist das Tutorial schon echt schlecht, das killt den Vibe sofort. Vielleicht läufts bei wem anders besser, meins war echt miserabel. Keine Lust meine Zeit dann mit sowas unsinnigem zu verschwenden.
기대하고 할 만한 게임은 아닙니다 지문을 채취해서 맞춰보고 혈은을 채취해서 DNA 맞춰보고 전자기기를 가져와서 칩을 분리하고 보내고 총기흔적을 찾아서 궤적을 찾아내고.. 그게 답니다 불편하게도 혼자 다니는 저는 모든 도구를 하나씩만 꺼내 쓸 수 있네요 정말 귀찮아요 게임적 허용 해주세요 현장은 여러명이지만 저는 혼자니까요.. 게임 초반에는 참신했으나 챕터마다 정해져있습니다 테마가.. 제가 끝까지 안해서 그런걸지도 모르겠지만 혈흔 테마는 혈흔만 지문은 지문만 이런식으로 나눠져 있어서 여러개를 동시에 수집하며 자료를 한번에 검사하는 줄 알았는데 아닙니다 그리고 추리형은 절대 아닙니다.. 그냥 검사하고 나면 알아서 나와요.. 기대하지마세요. 이만원주고 살 게임 아닙니다 한글화도 없어서 번역기 돌려가며 했어요 사지마세요.. 아직 아닙니다.. 이 게임은 발전이 매우 더 필요합니다.. 튜토리얼도 끝까지 하지 마세요.. 환불 못 해요.. 하는데 좀 걸립니다.. 10점 만점에 2.7점 주고 싶습니다.
I already played the demo of Forensics and had been looking forward to the full release ever since. As a huge true crime fan who's always been fascinated by the work of forensic investigators, this game immediately caught my attention. One thing I really appreciate is that the developers even collaborated with the Rhineland-Palatinate State Criminal Police Office (LKA), and that the cases are based on the experiences of real forensic professionals. What I enjoy most about Forensics is its focus on authentic crime scene investigation. I wasn't looking for a game where I get to play the lone detective and solve every case by myself like an episode of NCIS. Instead, I wanted to experience realistic forensic procedures—and that's exactly what this game delivers. It does a great job of showing just how much care, patience, and precision this line of work actually requires. Of course, there are still a few areas that could be improved to make the gameplay even more enjoyable, but I'm confident that future updates and patches will continue to polish the experience. The tutorial missions are clear, easy to follow, and provide a great introduction to the more challenging cases later on. I especially liked the balance between guiding the player at the beginning and gradually letting you figure things out on your own. One of my favorite aspects of the game is the variety of forensic mechanics. Collecting fingerprints instantly brought back memories of pretending to be a detective as a kid. I also loved the fingerprint analysis itself—having to carefully compare tiny details is surprisingly engaging, and it's implemented really well. If you go into Forensics expecting to support investigations through careful evidence collection and analysis, rather than playing a one-person crime-solving hero, you'll have a great time. You might even learn a thing or two about real forensic work along the way. Completing cases thoroughly and earning enough points unlocks additional investigations, which makes the price feel completely fair in my opinion. I'm already looking forward to future updates, and I'd absolutely love to see a DLC or even more cases added down the road. Deutsch: Ich habe bereits die Demo von Forensics gespielt und anschließend gespannt auf den Release gewartet. Als großer True-Crime-Fan und jemand, der die Arbeit von Forensiker*innen unglaublich spannend findet, hat mich das Spiel von Anfang an angesprochen. Besonders positiv finde ich, dass hier sogar mit dem LKA Rheinland-Pfalz zusammengearbeitet wurde und die Fälle auf den Erfahrungsberichten echter Expert*innen basieren. Was mir an Forensics besonders gefällt, ist der Fokus auf authentische Spurensicherung. Ich möchte hier keine Folge Navy CIS nachspielen oder im Alleingang den Fall lösen, sondern realistische Arbeitsabläufe erleben – und genau das schafft das Spiel meiner Meinung nach sehr gut. Es vermittelt eindrucksvoll, wie viel Sorgfalt, Geduld und Fingerfertigkeit dieser Beruf tatsächlich erfordert. Natürlich gibt es hier und da noch ein paar Stellschrauben, an denen gedreht werden könnte, um den Spielspaß weiter zu steigern. Ich bin aber zuversichtlich, dass zukünftige Patches hier noch nachbessern werden. Die Tutorial-Missionen sind verständlich aufgebaut und bieten einen gelungenen Einstieg in die späteren Fälle. Mir gefällt besonders die Balance zwischen dem anfänglichen „an die Hand nehmen“ und dem steigenden Anspruch der nachgestellten echten Fälle. Ein echtes Highlight sind für mich die verschiedenen Spielmechaniken zur Spurenauswertung. Das Sichern von Fingerabdrücken hat bei mir direkt Erinnerungen an meine Kindheit als Möchtegern-Detektivin geweckt. Auch das anschließende Analysieren der Fingerabdrücke macht richtig Spaß – wie akribisch man auf kleinste Unterschiede achten muss, wurde im Spiel wirklich gut umgesetzt. Wer mit der Erwartung an Forensics herangeht, die Ermittlungsarbeit durch sorgfältige Spurensicherung und Auswertung zu unterstützen, anstatt als Ein-Personen-Ermittler jeden Fall im Alleingang zu lösen, wird hier viel Spaß haben und ganz nebenbei auch noch etwas über forensische Arbeit lernen. Wer die Fälle gewissenhaft bearbeitet und genügend Punkte erreicht, schaltet nach und nach weitere Fälle frei. Deshalb finde ich das Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis absolut fair. Ich freue mich jetzt schon auf zukünftige Updates und würde mich besonders über ein DLC oder weitere Missionen freuen.
Tolles Spiel, Interessante Fälle. Freu mich auf mehr.
Cool forensics game, I hope more types of evidence and more cases will release in the future, maybe with more complex cases as for now they are pretty simple to solve

fun so far, full review later
游戏挺好玩的,操作有点问题,教程不能跳过对于玩过试玩版的来说有点不太好,必须得重过一次
Veo un juego bastante crudo a lo que esperaba, por defecto todos los casos son tutoriales, hasta ahí no hay problemas pero por cada tutorial que haces te abren un caso nuevo, en total juegas un total de 8 cosas donde repites lo mismo 2 veces, luego no te dan mas casos, esperaba mas contenido
viel zu wenig Inhalt! Das Tutorial hat länger gedauert als die "Fälle". Wirklich schade
