A tense, moody crime drama where tough decisions and their consequences drive a narrative noir experience.

What players say
Players say The Detail is an unfinished episodic crime noir that ends on a cliffhanger with no more episodes coming. The story starts interesting but gets worse, with a dull first two chapters and a rushed buggy third. The game is a mix of point-and-click and visual novel without voice acting, and some choices feel meaningless.
