About This Game

The Shapeshifting Detective is a supernatural-noir murder mystery FMV game where you play as a detective who can shapeshift into other characters, allowing you to unlock secret conversations and private encounters.

Dorota Shaw is dead. And the prime suspects are three tarot readers with the uncanny ability to predict murder - or commit it. It’s your job to find out what else they know - but they won’t reveal their dark secrets to just anyone… Luckily, you can be anyone you want to be. Even the next victim.

The game features more than 1600 full HD video responses, a simple questioning interface with unique ‘delete’ mechanic, and a randomly chosen murderer at the start of the game. Developed by the World Record-breaking makers of "The Infectious Madness of Doctor Dekker".

As you explore the town of August, you'll be treated to a streaming radio broadcast of specially selected dark fiction read out by some of our favourite content creators...

This is one of the best FMVs that I played. Very interesting story, unique mechanics, mystery that is not so obvious to solve and really good acting. I can definitely recommend it!

A very necessary FMV game for the collection. Actually, I might double check that I have bought it for my sisters, because it has the interesting stuff, shapeshifting, a murder mystery to solve. If only there was a shapeshifting detective sequel. Check out Contradiction and Dark Nights with Poe and Monroe, or play again and not get punched like last time.
