Death Trick: Double Blind
A downloadable game for Windows
Death Trick: Double Blind (Prototype)
Hi! Please note this is a short demo/prototype for our game Death Trick: Double Blind - it does not contain a full story, only the beginning of one. We are working on an updated/longer demo right now, which will probably be up on Itch and Steam in a few months :)
The star magician of the circus went missing: rumors are flying, trouble is brewing, but the show must go on. In this non-linear detective game, gather clues, question suspects and point out contradictions to unravel the mystery from two alternating perspectives.
Step into the world of a mid-twentieth century American traveling circus with the lush, vintage-inspired art style, and an atmospheric original soundtrack that reckons back to familiar sounds of that time period.
Immerse yourself in a detective story with twists and turns that will shock and delight fans of the genre, and get to know a colorful cast of characters each with their own stories… and their own secrets.
♦ Two Perspectives: Alternate between two characters with different access to information, and put the pieces together to form the bigger picture.
♦ Turns & Action: With limited chances of action, strategize carefully about which clues to pursue and which locations to investigate.
♦ Unique "Collection" Mechanic: Gather, present and search for contradictions with each and every piece of information in your "Collection".

10 mins into the demo and I decided to buy the game
(played full release in Sept 2024 via Steam and thought to also paste my review here
Just finished the game (unlocked all the endings) & it was so amazing.
(I scum saved my way through just so I can present every single thing to everyone and read what they have to say). Given the Mr. Wright reference at some point, pretty sure this was inspired by Ace Attorney, and those familiar w it know how in AA when you present something unrelated you get this stock dialogue? I was delightfully surprised when I barely see any of that here. Instead, there were lots of anecdotes unrelated to the case with their own additional illustrations.
There was so much content that it really made me feel how this was such a labor of love. Like, all those tidbits couldn't have been easy to do, in addition to tracking what everyone thought and knew of each other on top of the timeline for the actual series of events.
This is such a great game with good writing, I would play it all over again just to re-experience it. The mystery was so good too! I was second-guessing my potential suspect at every reveal and I only finally figured it out near the end. Also, the contradictions & all the deduction needed felt fair & just the right difficulty! (unlike in AA for example where it can be absurdly illogical).
I am looking forward to any future games you might release next.
I'm always into these kind of games more for the story and characters than the mystery and while all were good, the characters were just sooo good, I got attached to them all to the point that although unlikely, I thought maybe there's an unknown person who's actually the killer because I just can't imagine any of them do it. They all feel so fully fleshed out and I loved seeing their minor interactions w each other throughout the investigation.
I saw this in steam a month ago. The demo is great. Looking forward for the next release update
Hey try to contact some small youtubers to give them content and you will get this game more famous
Got it! Thank you so much!
No problem, your game deservs more attention
Will definitely wishlist on Steam when possible. Conversations with Moses felt so long for both characters, ~20min. That was bit too much.
Thank you! And thanks for the feedback :)
