Homicide Desk Key Features
Free-text interrogations
In Homicide Desk, you type your questions in your own words and suspects respond conversationally. The interrogation system is built around asking, pressing, and confronting rather than picking preset lines.
Hands-on forensic work
The case work includes fingerprint alignment, cipher breaking, and chromatograph calibration. Homicide Desk treats forensics as interactive tasks instead of automatic checks.
Desktop case management
You work through nested case files, reports, statements, and photos from a police-style desktop. Homicide Desk keeps the investigation inside the interface rather than sending you through waypoint-driven scenes.
Analysis tools
Phone records and photo can be flagged, cross-referenced, and inspected through specific tools. Homicide Desk also includes locked documents that open only after you earn the code or uncover the right.
Consequence-driven arrests
Written deductions matter, and the wrong arrest has consequences. Homicide Desk makes the charge decision part of the game instead of a formality.
Single-player Steam features
Homicide Desk includes single-player support, Steam Achievements, Steam Cloud, and Family Sharing. It is designed as a solo investigation with progression tied to the case.
