About


A puppy named Teddy, found dead under mysterious circumstances. Master Reed, vanished in a bustling temple fair crowd. Years of grudges festering at the Shipwreck Wharf. Scattered newspapers and handwritten notes in an unknown prison... Traverse the eclectic districts of Dark Tide City and investigate a string of bizarre cases.
Recover the city's lost memories. Piece together the truth behind the city's fracture ten years ago. Kill. Judge. Or perhaps… kiss(?) the mastermind.


It pairs 3D HD environments with 2D pixel characters, creating a striking modern-vs-retro visual style, and offers a wide range of freely explorable locations across distinct districts, including the rusting steel jungle of a long-shuttered factory, the muddy Shipwreck Wharf built on stilts, the floating slum of the Pig Cage Walled City where Chinese tradition and neon lights bleed into one another, and the bustling, crowded streets of the Old Town District.


Freely choose how to improve your abilities: Strength, Spirit, Charm. Pick your own approach to each case: Play mind games? Grease some palms? Or just beat a confession out of the suspect?
Deduction System: Gather, analyze, and connect the clues. Craft your own unique investigation trail!


Meet the people of Dark Tide City and uncover the stories behind their masks... whether it's the sanctimonious Captain Theo, the fiery young Axel Flint (son of Griff Flint), the defiant Rafe Carter, the cheerful shutterbug Kiki, the elegant Mrs. Reed, the rumored hex-casting Priestess, the warm-hearted fishmonger Auntie Bass, or the foul-mouthed little rascal Chiffon.

The Shadow: A strange creature clinging to your back. It reads memories and reconstructs the traces of the dead.
"Don't worry, Lucas. We're just using each other. You use me to find the killer, and me? I love nothing more than feasting on the bizarre tales. Hahaha—!"

还不错 还蛮喜欢这个风格 不过最后升华部分的说教味有点重 有些破环沉浸感 部分人物设计有些刻板,还有主角未免有点过于耐操了

配音真的牛逼,画风也很不错,但是很可惜,后面剧情和工厂没有特别深刻的联系了,和预期有差,但还是值得一玩

前期工厂剧情还行,但后面剧情一般,[spoiler] 经典低级叙事套路,别的不会写,就只能用裤裆悲剧来深化悲剧感。就跟恐怖游戏只会做跳脸吓人一样,没活了 [/spoiler]。但画风美术挺不错的,也很有氛围感,人物配音也很加分。整体游玩体验还算可以吧,能玩。
太美了这个游戏!不知道怎么夸!就是很值得玩! 在发售前几天就在社媒上高强度刷到各个推广)但是画风真的很抓眼,一瞬间就期待上了。 故事很流畅,多亏了文案和配音以及演出,每个角色的特点也很鲜明。(但是为什么大家一瞬间都爱上了我这个老酒鬼?) 玩法上的探索以及断案的难度不高所以不会卡关,提示也非常友好。让你能够老老实实的玩游戏。 美术风格让我感觉像潮湿的南方,无尽的雨天和粘腻可能长满青苔的地面。勾起了不太美妙的记忆。 整体的美术、玩法、系统都做得很好,非常非常推荐!
好玩,非常有代入感。
簡單說遊戲整體框架沒問題,就美術風格不是很搭之外,文本純一坨... 直接弄成˙古代、現代、未來應該都會比朝廷帝國現代大雜燴來的好 對話大致上沒太大問題,就案件跟整體劇情....哀....真心覺得浪費了遊戲本體 不包括案件跟劇情的話,10分我給7-8分 如果包含案件劇情的話....抱歉我頂多給6分...
挺好玩的,有点像·玩·山河旅探,语音贴近现实,故事情节蛮吸引人的,有意想不到的反转,人物立体,玩法也挺有意思的,就是拿到线索记得查看不然就卡住了,如果进房间检查能换一个看起来更舒服的视角就更好了。 题材是历史的大概在民国,暗水城的一番景象是在别的历史题材的小说或者游戏没见到的,大开眼界。 还没玩完,有些地方已经体现出了家国情怀的深度
