Aerosoft, Binary Impact and Alchemical Works are pleased to announce that Forensics: Crime Scene Detective is available today for PC via Steam, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. Built around the careful work that begins after the sirens fade, Forensics: Crime Scene Detective hires players as forensic specialists; responsible for turning traces, samples, patterns, and data into facts investigators can rely on.
Developed with professional guidance and experience reports from Germany’s State Criminal Police Office Rhineland-Palatinate (LKA RLP), the game focuses on sober, logical, evidence-led investigation, taking from the real world experience of the actual forensics operations and incorporating the massive volume of player feedback received when the title reached over 80,000 demo downloads during last month’s Steam Next Fest. The title releases with strong anticipation from the community, showing hunger for a forensics title where crime scenes must be really studied, evidence collected and where conclusions must not come from behind a weapon, but stand up to scientific methodologies and thorough analysis in the lab.
Securing evidence is only the beginning. In the lab, the evidence tells its story. You compare DNA profiles, reconstruct bullet trajectories, decrypt digital devices, and piece together fragments into a clear overall picture. Your analyses incriminate perpetrators — or exonerate the innocent. Not every bloody crime scene is a murder. And not everything that seems obvious is the truth.
With professional guidance from the State Criminal Police Office Rhineland-Palatinate, the game portrays forensic work as authentically as possible. Experience cases drawn from real life: sober, logical, and relentless in their evaluation of evidence. Find the traces. Analyze the facts. Reveal the truth.
