Paper Detective
A downloadable game
đź“° Words Are Your Weapon
This is a turn-based dialogue game where you don’t fight with swords or spells — you fight with tone, timing, and carefully chosen words.
Your goal is to push your opponent into the right emotional state, extract valuable information, and move your investigation forward.
🕵️‍♂️ Story
You play as a young journalist chasing recognition, headlines, and personal glory.
A strange case draws you into a web of half-truths, hidden motives, and uncomfortable questions.
And only mastery of conversation will uncover the truth.
⚔️ Gameplay
- Turn-based dialogue duels — each turn, choose how you engage: apply pressure, ease the tension, joke, provoke, or take a calculated risk.
- Emotion-driven mechanics — manage emotional states like interest, anger, laughter, and tension. Each one changes how the conversation plays out.
- QTE-enhanced conversations — timing and focus matter. Quick-time events add intensity and action even during dialogue.
- Action deck building — build your own deck of conversational tactics to match your playstyle.
- Progression & upgrades — improve your journalist’s skills and modify QTE mechanics, unlocking new strategic options.
Victory belongs not to the strongest —
but to the one who listens best and speaks at the right moment.
