About Duskwood - Detective Story
Duskwood - Detective Story is an interactive mystery game where you investigate a real criminal case as an active participant in the story. When Hannah vanishes without a trace, her friends receive a mysterious message containing just a number—yours. You're pulled into a dangerous investigation where your choices, decisions, and every message you send shape the narrative and determine who lives and who gets caught.
Investigate the disappearance by collecting hidden evidence, questioning suspects, and solving mysterious puzzles. Each character you interact with reveals different clues depending on how you treat them. Make them trust you, or watch them shut you out. Your dialogue choices aren't just cosmetic—they affect relationships, unlock new story paths, and determine whether you'll outsmart the killer before it's too late. The mystery unfolds through a realistic messenger interface filled with text, images, voicemails, mini-games, and video clips that bring the investigation to life.
The story takes place in Duskwood, a small village surrounded by dense forest where strangers rarely venture. Local legends speak of strange occurrences tied to the ancient woods, but the villagers dismissed them as myth—until Hannah's disappearance forced them to reconsider. Now, the town is gripped by fear as connections emerge between her case and the forest's dark reputation.
Beyond the main investigation, you can unlock additional features like Secret Agent Spy Mode, which lets you secretly read other characters' private chats and uncover truths they're hiding from you. Be careful—getting caught snooping damages trust and closes off certain story branches. The game continuously receives new crime content and updates that expand the case and introduce fresh mysteries to solve.
Play entirely for free with no forced payments. The game remains free indefinitely, though in-app purchases are available if you want to support the developers behind this criminal detective story. The team behind Duskwood previously created Dead City, a worldwide hit that established their expertise in interactive crime fiction.
Your investigation story, your choices, your role as detective—every decision matters in Duskwood - Detective Story. Download now and become part of the Duskwood Crime Series.
