Phone Detective

Phone Detective is a narrative-driven mystery that puts you in the shoes of Michael Marlowe, a sharp-tongued journalist investigating the sudden disappearance of beauty influencer Emily Woods. The game uses an in-phone chat interface so players piece together clues from conversations with friends, rivals, lovers and informants, uncovering affairs, hidden motives and the dark side of fame.
