Ever since Papers, Please made interface-driven investigation compelling, several games have followed suit, turning mundane deduction into engaging puzzles. Inkblood fits right into that lineage. It’s an upcoming title where you solve cultic murders from the comfort of your carriage, and I got to work through a couple of cases.
Uphold the Inquisition
During the demo, I tackled two murders. Each investigation plays out entirely from your carriage, which is equipped with a handful of tools. You can peer into the past at specific moments using a magnifying glass to uncover what might have happened, zoom into scenes, take photographs, and interact with your surroundings to catch anything you might have missed. Each case also comes with a set of questions you’ll need to answer to reach a conclusion.
