Noir mystery in 1980s Amsterdam

A Death in the Red Light welcomes you to 1988 Amsterdam, where bodies keep piling up in the red-light district. As a detective, you’re tasked with figuring out the sudden danger plagues the city. Like any mystery, any clue you gather digs deeper into the unknown, and slowly, you realize the city's deeply entangled webs. Talk to witnesses and solve puzzles to find the missing piece.

Investigate the city's depths, from the seediest streets to drug-riddled alleys. Meet new people with withheld motives and discern the best case of action as you navigate the intricate relationships of everyone you meet. Keep your wits about you, as this investigation is longer than it seems. This chilling story is inspired by a real-life case, making it grounded and realistic.

The whole vibe and intricate nature of the game shines through with its distinctive style and numerous puzzles that dictate the course of investigation. Additionally, every character in the game blends into the world seamlessly, creating a feeling of deception and a tinge of realism that further immerses you. While the game’s overall narrative and gameplay are compelling, the game’s mystery is solved once played through, reducing replayability.
