Overview
About this game
In the quiet town of Highgate in 1956, a mysterious murder shatters the long-standing calm. As a hired private detective, you step into an investigation woven with lies, old grudges, and hidden interests.
The Chessboard Mystery: 47 West Street, Highgate is a grounded detective adventure focused on logical reasoning. With an open investigation structure, you can freely explore multiple locations, collect evidence, examine items, trace the origins of clues, and cross-check information through suspect interrogations. Key findings are recorded on a dynamic deduction board, where you reconstruct the timeline, analyze contradictions, and uncover motives to reveal the full truth.
The game offers branching paths, major choices, and multiple endings. Your decisions shape the direction of the investigation, affect character relationships, and ultimately determine whether you can identify the real culprit. By uncovering each suspect’s hidden past layer by layer, you will reveal the deeper truth behind what first appeared to be a simple murder.
