A noir detective game using an AI telephone
Enter an interactive murder mystery where each conversation uncovers fresh clues.
Through a restored rotary telephone, you'll question witnesses, chase down evidence,
and connect the dots in cases that transform with every playthrough.
Our artificial intelligence creates distinct personalities and narratives, placing you inside
cinematic detective scenarios where your investigative choices shape the resolution.
No fixed dialogue, no linear storylines - only raw deductive reasoning and the excitement of
cracking cases through your conversations.
Telephone Detective is currently in development and was recently showcased at the
Angewandte Festival 2025.
We're working on making the experience available for public demos and private events.
Stay tuned for upcoming dates where you can step into a case yourself, or reach out via
