Be a detective in ancient China
During the Tang Dynasty, someone kills young ladies in the Chinese capital, leaving cards with riddles and warnings at the crime scene. Following a daringly solved case, Empress Wu Zetian assigns newly minted but skilled young detective Di Renjije the responsibility of determining the identity of the assassin.
In Detective Di: The Silk Rose Murders players will uncover the truth behind the crimes, learn the true intentions of the politicians and defeat their demons as they collaborate with China’s first and only empress during the unique times of the Tang Dynasty. As Detective Di we will have to investigate the crime scenes by talking to witnesses using the available dialogue options. Find evidence and objects relevant to the investigation. Draw the right conclusions by filling in the deduction board to accurately recreate the events of the past.

Detective Di: The Silk Rose Murders is coming to Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch on December 14, 2021. The game is already available on PC through Steam.
