The Detective's Apprentice
A downloadable game
You are Clementine “Cleo” Ace, an eager to learn apprentice to the world renowned detective, Maya Lynch, who also just happens to be your favorite aunt.
Whether you’re untangling a complex murder or solving an impossible heist, there’s never a dull moment when you two are on the case. Every mystery comes with its unique challenges, and to solve them, you must:
1. Search for clues and spot discrepancies.
2. Ask the right questions, whether you’re interviewing witnesses, testing for a poison or searching through traffic records.
3. The art of deduction is a must for any budding detective. Piece together clues using logic and observation.
4. Figure out who did it.
5. Reconstruct the Crime

Hello! I'm reaching out on the behalf of Wavyrn audio studios– we were wondering if you have a publicly available contact email we could contact you on?
Hi! You can email me at darqwerfulgames@gmail.com
hey! is there a progress update on the game?
Hey! Sorry I haven’t posted in a while because I’ve been busy working on a demo and getting a Steam page up! I’d say the demo is a bit more than halfway done. I’ll keep you posted!
Thanks so much for asking, it makes my day knowing someone cares about the game! :D
of course. i really like your games! especially the justin case ones. definitely at the top of my favorite creators on itch
Aw thank you for the kind words! Really means a lot! :)

Hi! I might be able to release the demo in browser but I’m afraid the full game will have to be download only.
