How it feels

A lighthearted detective adventure with hand-drawn visuals and branching stories, blending casual investigation with Korean folklore.

What players say

Players are split on Dynasty Detective. Many enjoy the Korean fantasy setting and bromance, but almost everyone criticizes its short length, clunky systems like an unreliable autosave and a frustratingly slow text skip, and a story that ends without an epilogue (some suspect it is DLC). The mysteries are often called predictable, and the music is reused heavily.
