The Posthumous Investigation

Step into a surreal interactive visual novel set in a jazzy black-and-white 1930s Brazil. A private detective is caught in a time loop, reliving the same day until the pieces of a whodunit mystery finally click into place. The city lives and breathes around you, with every resident following a daily routine that you can learn, track, and subtly alter to your advantage.

Interrogation is your sharpest tool. Each eccentric suspect holds a twisted view of the deceased, and putting them on the spot reveals the lies they are desperate to hide. When a loop ends, the victim waits in Limbo, ready to help you connect the clues and reconstruct the case from a new angle. The dead may be gone, but they are far from silent.

Time itself becomes a mechanic you command. Fast-forward through slow moments, manipulate NPC schedules, and predict key events before they happen. Every choice matters as you navigate suspense, police drama, spy puzzles, and adventure, all while a mysterious killer stays one step ahead.

Inspired by point-and-click classics, this literary film noir experience blends deduction with a dark, satirical take on Machado de Assis' narrative universe. Unlock the full story with a single in-app purchase if you enjoy the free prologue, and lose yourself in a city where every second counts and every secret has its price.
