Unravel the Mystery in Connected Clue
Connected Clue, the detective adventure from Korean indie studio Alpheratz Games and global publisher CFK, is now available on Stove. You can purchase it for $19.99, and it supports Korean, English, Japanese, Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese.
Unlike traditional mystery games that rely heavily on dialogue, Connected Clue encourages players to investigate crimes through exploration and observation. You play as private detective Diana, who takes on a series of cases across the fog-covered streets of 19th-century Salomon Town. Players will search crime scenes in a 2.5D isometric world, follow suspects, solve ciphers, and connect evidence to uncover the truth behind each investigation.
The full release includes Chapters 0 through 10, offering 11 main chapters and 18 side quests for a total of 29 investigations. Players who experienced the early demo during Steam Next Fest can now dive into longer and more complex cases that expand the story of Salomon Town.
Several gameplay systems help bring the detective experience to life. The Detective’s Notebook keeps evidence and suspect profiles organized, while the Detective’s Wall lets players connect clues to reconstruct each case. Detective Diana can also use disguises to infiltrate restricted areas, chase fleeing suspects through quick-time events, solve cipher-based puzzles, and travel quickly using the town’s taxi system. Players who get stuck can even call Chief Inspector Colin for hints using public telephones, while a visual sound-wave system makes lock-picking more accessible.
With its focus on investigation over exposition, Connected Clue offers a refreshing take on the detective genre. Fans of mystery adventures now have another intriguing case to solve.
