The Detective Chapters: Part One
A choice-driven murder mystery that lives or dies on dialogue branching, but limited scope and obscurity make it a niche gamble.
GamerScout Verdict
For narrative-first players willing to experiment on an unknown indie game with unproven dialogue design.

Every store in this table quotes us in euros, so the EUR figure is the price the seller actually set, not our arithmetic — which is why EUR is also the currency we rank in. We only list an offer here when the store gives us its price in euros, so nothing in this table is a number we invented.
Pick USD, PLN, GBP, CAD or AUD in the header and we convert from EUR at the European Central Bank reference rate — converted amounts are prefixed with ~. Your bank or the store may apply a different rate at checkout. We never hide offers based on where you are: everyone sees this whole table.
We may earn a commission when you buy games through links on this page — at no extra cost to you. It never affects our rankings or verdicts.

About The Detective Chapters: Part One
I've spent enough time in narrative games to know that 'your choices matter' is often marketing speak. The Detective Chapters Part One sells itself on dialogue-driven consequences in a first-person exploration setup, which is solid design space if executed cleanly. You're investigating a murder, picking how to interact with suspects, and those branches theoretically reshape how people treat you going forward. For a 2021 indie title with minimal visibility, the premise is sound. The catch: at this tier of obscurity and production scale, dialogue trees are only as good as their branching depth and writing quality. I can't verify either from available data. If you're hunting a short, narrative-focused whodunit where conversation choices genuinely reshape outcomes rather than cosmetic flavor text, this could scratch that itch. But there's no community footprint or review baseline to tell you if it delivers on that promise. Only grab it if you're comfortable being a guinea pig for unknown indie narrative design.
