Cold Case

Cold Case is a free simulation game made with AI by @mottoe, and you can play it right here in your browser.

Cold Case is a top-down pixel art detective game set on the rain-slicked streets of a city at night. Streetlamps cast warm pools of light across wet pavement, crosswalks, and dark rooftops as you walk the blocks in search of answers.

There has been a murder, and the culprit changes with every case. Talk to the people you meet, inspect what you find, and step through doors to follow leads. Choose your words carefully in conversation, and keep track of everything in your casebook as the picture comes together.

Find your way around with the city map, pick up the pace when the trail runs hot, and pause whenever you need to think it through. Built entirely in code for the browser, with hand-drawn pixel art and a moody noir atmosphere.

Controls: WASD or Arrows to walk (Shift to hurry), E to talk, inspect, and use doors, Tab for the casebook, M for the city map, 1-9 or Enter to choose dialogue, Esc to pause.
