Pixel P.I. is a hacker detective who lost her recent memories and has to solve past cases to find clues about her own past.

Wishlist on steam!

After an unknown incident Pixel lost her memories, and the only link to her past is a list of old cases that she found on an old notebook. What's wrong with these cases? Why were they never solved? And what kind of clues do they contain about Pixel's past? These are all mysteries that you will need to solve in order to help Pixel.

These cases will force you to reason, to make deductions, and ultimately to give them resolution. You will have to explain your reasoning to your companion, to make sure you are not making any mistake and driving the investigation to the wrong place. They will keep you grounded, and let you know if your logic is faulty, because in this game you will write the deductions.

The Game Features 6 Cases

  • The axe murderer
  • The broken case
  • The remorseful doctor
  • ????
  • ????
  • The final case

Each case features a new set of characters that you can interact with.

Game Mechanics

  • Interrogation: You can get clues and information about the case by asking your own questions to suspects and witnesses.
  • Contradict: Show a clue and explain why it shows that the person is lying to force them to correct their statement.
  • Debunk arguments: The police often makes mistakes. Luckily, you have a register of the train of thought leading to some of the conclusions they draw. Find the flaw in their logic to prove they were wrong.
  • Accuse suspect: Solve the case by presenting all your clues against someone.

Game Development

There are many new features in development and some al ready finish and ready to be integrated.

These are some of the features I am working on:

  • Pixel art animations for dialogues
  • Different expressions and reactions in dialogues
  • UI overhaul
  • More detailed clues images on inspection
  • Visual effects (lights, shadows, special shaders)
  • The next 4 cases (of course)

Behind the scenes there is also a lot of work done on the storytelling front that has not been shown yet:

  • Lots of world-building
  • Pixel's backstory
  • Overarching story
  • Character development (for important characters that have not been seen yet, and some that have)
  • Pixel art for future characters
