Game Overview

Join John Shen, a refined gentleman and detective, as he seeks truth and revenge for his brother’s death in early 20th century China. The year is 1923, and you're transported to the Yangtze River, where a series of intriguing cases await. Your journey begins with a mysterious discovery - a newly published detective novel that eerily mirrors your brother's untimely demise. Convinced that the amateur writer was somehow involved in his death, John returns to China to uncover the truth. As you navigate the game's engaging storyline, you'll use your logical reasoning and deduction skills to investigate crime scenes, search for evidence, debate with suspects, and identify the murderer using collected clues. The gameplay loop is designed to be easy to pick up, with a gradual increase in complexity as you progress through the cases. With its unique blend of puzzle-solving, storytelling, and characters, Murders on the Yangtze River offers an immersive experience that will keep you hooked from start to finish. But what truly sets this game apart is its stunning brush painting art style, which transports you to a picturesque world of ancient China's mountains and rivers. As you explore the beautiful landscapes, you'll feel like you're flipping through the pages of a vintage ink wash picture scroll.
