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:
You decide which traces are relevant. Overlooked evidence can leave a case unsolved.

I'm a bit disappointed with the game. I was expecting something like Scrutinized in the sense of looking around to find clues and using your instinct to make your conclusion. Turns out it's a rather basic simulator game. I really hope the gameplay complexifies and more cases to solve with less repetition in the near future.
Really cool concept for a game and it has high potential, i wouldn't be too discouraged when potentially buying this game and seeing all the negative reviews, the game got of to a rocky start mainly due to a few small but highly game breaking bugs (for example hiding most of the cases) but these bugs have already been fixed and already 4 patches in it is clear that the developers are working hard to make sure the game gets as good as they intended it to be!
🧩 Gameplay : ★★★★☆ 🎨 Graphismes : ★★★★☆ 🎵 Ambiance / Audio : ★★★★☆ 📖 Histoire : ★☆☆☆☆ ⚙️ Optimisation : ★★★★☆ 🎮 Plaisir de jeu : ★★★☆☆ 🏆 Note finale : 8/10 💬 Mon avis : Forensics: Crime Scene Detective mise avant tout sur l'observation et la méthodologie. Le jeu prend le temps de reproduire les différentes étapes d'une enquête scientifique, ce qui le rend immersif pour les amateurs de simulations et d'investigation. Le rythme est volontairement posé et demande de la patience. Si vous recherchez un jeu d'action, il risque de ne pas vous convenir. En revanche, si vous aimez analyser des indices, reconstituer les faits et résoudre des enquêtes de manière réaliste, il offre une expérience intéressante. Prix un peu trop élevé pour le moment par rapport au contenu. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WmLIsXTkYhI
Ein wirklich gelungener Forensik Simulator. Statt auf Action setzt das Spiel auf sauberes Arbeiten und logisches Vorgehen. Die Spurensicherung, Laboranalysen und die einzelnen Ermittlungsschritte fühlen sich durchdacht an und vermitteln einen guten Eindruck davon, wie viel Präzision hinter moderner Forensik steckt. Besonders gefallen hat mir die authentische Atmosphäre und die Liebe zum Detail. Man merkt, dass hier viel Wert auf realistische Abläufe gelegt wurde, ohne den Spielfluss aus den Augen zu verlieren. Für Fans von Simulationen und Detektivspielen ist das eine erfrischende Abwechslung zu klassischen Krimispielen. Ich bin gespannt, wie sich das Spiel in Zukunft weiterentwickelt und freue mich auf weitere Fälle.
Difference from the demo. The fingerprint matching is different. There is QoL on the forensic machines so its easier to use. And in order to progress you have to send your analysis via email. It does become a game of find the hidden object (mostly hidden fingerprints are the bane of my existence). Other than that the game is straightforward, some fingerprints patterns don't work like you expect them to like on the last case. However I played 11 hours of it I enjoyed it but this isn't a $20 + dollar game it feels like it should be 20 at most and nothing more unless he is going to offer more cases later. As they can introduce them almost like hitman with the special assassinations. So I recommend with a caveat.
Completed the game (4 tutorials and 14 missions) on Proton/Linux and I had a lot of fun despite some issues/quirks. Disclaimer: Issues I have experienced might be related to me running on Linux or be a PEBKAC issue. - Achievements: Were not unlocked before the final missions (might be something the developers have patched lately). - Marker placement and taking pictures: When multiple evidence were placed close, I often found myself placing marker, taking picture, collect the evidence then removing the marker before continuing with the next evidence. It does take more time than placing all markers before taking pictures. Finding the right angle for the picture also takes considerable time, especially when the evidence is placed on hard to reach places - edge of Line of Sight. - Fingerprint analysis: Analyzing minutiae on some of the latest missions, seem to be incorrect (for instance some junction minutiae were considered weak) General remarks: - There is a balance between realism and game mechanisms related to forensically sound methods and chain of custody. The game could have had different difficulty levels. Evidence collection feels like is implemented as a no-penalty mini-game. - There are inconsistencies in missions where you can open drawers/explore and where you can't. - Little/No replayability. Final remarks: - Devil is in the details. Move slowly and systematically.
Hallo liebes Entwickler Team Ihr habt ein hammer game raus gebracht aber leider hab ich nun das Problem das ich bei der Verhängnisvolle Schuss 98/100 prozent habe die Akte Abgeschlossen habe und ich kein weiteren Fall öffnen kann da werden keine neuen Fall Akten hinterlegt.
Das Spiel macht mir bis jetzt sehr viel Spaß und kann es nur weiter empfehlen.
STRONGLY reccomend this gmae to anyone who is intrested in crime forensics, i really like this game and everything you can do in it.
是一个题材新颖的好游戏,代入感很强,但是缺点也很明显:1.新手引导不够,例如指纹关联性2.建议增加搜证是否全面的提示,不然容易漏线索。3.建议调亮紫外线灯光亮度,看不清楚4.建议证据高亮,或者一局有一两次提示,虽然能理解是出于模拟现场搜证的困难,但是很多证据真的找不到
