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.

I absolutely love the concept of this game, however the naming of evidences can get confusing as well as the tutorial can be slightly confusing, being a person who has played over 100 investigation games this was quite disappointing. while doing the tutorial i didnt realize i had started a case and finshed it, i thought i was still doing the tutorial. the 2 cases that were given to us were not involved at all, Very disappointed as i was really looking forward to some long and indepth cases. I do hope more cases will be added soon as i finished the game in under 3 hours
Ganz klar ein NEIN! Ein Tutorial das nichts erklärt und einem nicht vermittelt was falsch ist oder wo man einen Fehler gemacht hat ist kein Tutorial sondern einfach Mist! Bedien Erklärungen gibt es vor jedem Tutorial und dann ist es auch schon vorbei damit. Erneut lesen wie was funktioniert, Fehlanzeige. Sorry, in dem Spiel steckt mehr, aber zum jetzigen Zeitpunkt ein ganz klares nein. Ich bin kein Forensiker und erwarte ein bisschen mehr an Hilfestellung, zumindest im Tutorial. Mal sehen was die Zukunft bringt, aber zum jetzigen Zeitpunkt sind 20 Euro zuviel.
FIX THE PHOTO ANGEL FOR THE PHONES UNDER THE BAR!!!!!!! Also its really annoying having to constantly walk to and back from a to b for damn plastick standups and postit notes! the rest ist rather fun.
not even an hour of actual gameplay, 4 tutorial levels, only 3 main levels, with 0 replayability value. the tutorials take longer than the actual game, making it so that you only just go over the 2 hour mark if you do all tutorials and then the 3 lackluster levels making it so that you just about go over the refundable amount of playtime. was hyped, looked cool but most screenshots in the store page (like the car) are not in the game.
J'ai réessayé une des missions du tuto 3 fois pour l'avoir à 100% (et j'ai d'ailleurs jamais réussi) et j'ai quand même fini le jeu en 2h. J'ai littéralement passé 1h à apprendre le jeu dans 4 missions tuto qui du coup ne servent à rien vu que tout est expliqué et ensuite il n'y a que 3 véritables affaires ! TROIS ! Vraiment la honte d'oser sortir un jeu pas fini comme ça à ce prix-là...
Loved the demo, forgave the bugs. Excited for release. Released game is nothing different than the demo. Still has the bugs. Requires major work on bug fixes. Electronic Chip Bug (Still exists from the demo) During heating chip segment for electronics, if you drop the chip after heating it on the table, there's now way to recover it. You're now stuck. You can't remove the electronic device, you can't progress. Stuck at it on 1st tutorial. Tried so many different things. Now I've just requested refund.
Viel Potenzial, aber enttäuschende Umsetzung Die vier Tutorial-Fälle erklären die Spielmechaniken nur sehr oberflächlich. Zwar werden die grundlegenden Funktionen vorgestellt, doch nach Fehlern oder Fehlschlägen erhält man kaum hilfreiches Feedback. Das Spiel erklärt nicht ausreichend, was falsch gemacht wurde oder wie man seine Vorgehensweise verbessern kann. Dadurch wirkt der Lernprozess unnötig frustrierend. Nach Abschluss der Tutorials ist der Umfang zudem recht begrenzt. Die vorhandenen Fälle bieten wenig Abwechslung, da man nach kurzer Zeit bereits verstanden hat, welche Schritte erforderlich sind. Statt eigenständiger Ermittlungsarbeit entsteht schnell das Gefühl, lediglich eine feste Checkliste abzuarbeiten. Auch die Spielmechanik selbst weist Schwächen auf. Viele Interaktionen funktionieren nur aus bestimmten Blickwinkeln oder Positionen, was die Bedienung teilweise umständlich macht. Einige Objekte sind nur schwer erreichbar oder lassen sich nicht intuitiv untersuchen, was den Spielfluss beeinträchtigt. Besonders enttäuschend finde ich die forensischen Analysemöglichkeiten. Die vorhandenen Werkzeuge wirken sehr rudimentär und vermitteln nur einen kleinen Ausschnitt der tatsächlichen kriminaltechnischen Arbeit. Wichtige Untersuchungsmethoden fehlen vollständig. So hätte ich mir beispielsweise die Analyse von Reifenabdrücken, Fußspuren, Haarproben oder weitere spezialisierte Spurensicherungs- und Auswertungsverfahren gewünscht. Dadurch bleibt das Spiel deutlich hinter den Möglichkeiten zurück, die das Thema eigentlich bieten könnte. Insgesamt hat das Game eine starke Grundidee, nutzt sein Potenzial aber nicht aus. Wer sich eine tiefgehende und realistische Forensik-Simulation erhofft, wird vermutlich enttäuscht sein. Mit umfangreicheren Fällen, besser erklärten Mechaniken und deutlich mehr kriminaltechnischen Analysewerkzeugen könnte das Spiel jedoch zu einem sehr interessanten Game werden. Aktuell gibt es von mir daher keine Empfehlung.
Only played up to tutorial 3. It's super unintuitive to play. You need to hold E to interact with everything. You can't have more than 1 item in your hand, which is super annoying. For example in tutorial 2, you need to find the finger prints. You open the equipment case, pick up the UV light and find the prints. Then you need to drop the flashlight in to the case, pick up the finger print kit, go dust the finger prints and drop the kit back in the case. Then you pick up the evidence tag, tag it, leave it to the case. Then pick up the camera, go take the photos, and leave it to the case. Then pick up the finger print kit again, go lift the prints, and drop to kit to the case. Then and only then you can leave the crime scene and go analyse the evidences. You can see how annoying this is and how unrealitic it is. Any crime scene investigator will have these items on their bodies, either in the pockets, camera around their neck, etc. Also there's no way to track your process. You won't know until you close the case to see your scores. I did the tutorial 2 about 3-4 times before I manage to find all the evidence and did all the analysis. I know irl you won't have this but this is also a game. You need to make it realistic but also unrealistic at them same time.
Ein super Spiel welches mich den Traum Kriminalkommissar zu werden leben lässt. Ich kann es euch allen nur wärmstens empfehlen. Das macht Lust auf mehr!
Im Tutorial muss man sich viel selber erarbeiten, die Level machen nachher aber Spaß. Das Update heute hat das Spiel schon wesentlich verständlicher gemacht, besonders die Fingerabdrücke zu vergleichen ist jetzt einfacher als vorher. Ich kann das Spiel allen empfehlen, denen bewusst ist, dass man "nur" Forensiker ist und kein Mordermittler.
