Detective Di: The Silk Rose Murders will transport you back to ancient China where you’ll solve a gruesome series of murders. You’ll be playing Di Renjie (pronounced “Dee Ren Djieh”), the most famous and gifted investigator of the day.
The game will offer such familiar adventure gameplay mechanics as exploration, dialogue choices, interaction with objects, gathering clues and puzzle-solving. Nupixo is also adding an new aspect to the gameplay: once you’ve gathered enough clues to form a theory, it will be possible to re-enact the crime scene in order to test it.
The story will take place in the heart of Tang Dynasty’s capital city. The backdrop is one of political turmoil resulting from the ascension of China’s first female Empress to the throne. The narrative will be full of twists, turns and political secrets.
Nupixo Games is hoping to raise at least $16,000 via Kickstarter by March 27th. A Greenlight campaign is also in progress. The current plan is to release Detective Di on PC and Mac in early 2016.
