Solve The Murder Case In This Vivid Game Boy-inspired Open-World Game

Also, Excalibur is the murder weapon.

If you're looking for a nostalgic open-world Game Boy-inspired adventure, check out Detective Fantasia: EXCALIMURDER, a colorful top-down pixel art world where you play as a detective sent to the crime scene to solve a mysterious murder case.

The bell rings on a New Year as the body of an orphan is found slashed near Excalibur. Did someone really pull out the legendary sword to commit this atrocity?

In this game, you will investigate this strange case with complete freedom by walking around, inspecting the world, and pointing out inconsistencies. As detective Fantasia, you will talk to whomever you want and inspect every nook and cranny of the Excalibur Orphanage. All critical clues get added to your notebook and if you spot an inconsistency, select the contradicting clues to get closer to the truth.

Detective Fantasia: EXCALIMURDER has a truly beautiful art direction with a meticulously crafted world, a cast of diverse characters, and even an animated opening. Check out some gameplay clips and WIPs below:

You can also learn how some of these features were made with brief GameMaker tutorials kindly shared by the developer:
