Scorch (Early Access) – A Narrated, Immersive Detective Adventure with an Original Storyline

Game Review

 

Scorch is a first-person adventure where you need to crack the case of a murder scene.

It’s an atmospheric, narrative adventure game that has you scavenging the area for clues and evidence so you can solve the mystery of whodunit.

You’re a detective named Gary Price with a bad habit of drinking. And you’re on a final court warning. So you decide to take this one case pretty seriously in order to earn the respect back from the court. The game plays like Firewatch and Gone Home- it’s like a hybrid of them.

You walk around the scene and investigate the area. You can perform basic actions like examining the environment and looking for specific objects. Scorch has you scouring the area for evidence. You need to find out who the killer was and how the killer did it. You need to for clues that suggest the motives behind the attack and such.

Scorch turns this little scene into a whole egg hunt and makes it pretty immersive to play. It has an original story with full voice acting. The objects are all interactive and it even has a day/night cycle.

Without spoiling the game, try it out if you like mystery games. It’s an awesome little detective simulator that’s a blast to play.
