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...

Press reviews: “The Shapeshifting Detective is a shining light in immersive story-telling. The shapeshifting mechanic and how it is integrated into the story really sets it apart” 4.5/5 – The Xbox Hub “A great FMV title to enjoy multiple times over and over. By changing the murderer each time I would restart the game I felt like I was playing a game of Clue” 8/10 – PlayStation Universe “Alluring characters and enthralling narrative that dances with supernatural themes” 8/10 – Game Spew
