Mohism

Mohism is a detective game set in a wuxia world. You play as Zhang Xiaochen, a young Rift Watcher who investigates unsolved cases at his master's request. Xiaochen knows no martial arts, so you rely on logic, evidence and rhetoric to uncover the truth and defeat opponents in the Rift. The four cases together tell a complete story as Xiaochen becomes a master detective and uncovers a major conspiracy. Key dialogue segments feature voice acting, with changes in tone and hints that can help your investigations.

Four cases

• Intrigue at the Tang Keep: Tang Hechun, Master of the Tang Keep in central Sichuan, is found murdered in a locked room. You investigate the crime and the secrets behind it.
• Murder under Our Noses: The Rift Watchers' neutral stance does not prevent a violent threat from approaching. The disciples must respond.
• Slaughter in the Shrine: Zhang Xiaochen and his companions, Criminal Affairs, the Secret Service and mysterious attackers dressed in black gather at a remote shrine.
• The Case on the Lake: Director Miao Xiang of the Secret Service is found dead in his personal study at the heavily guarded headquarters, with the room's statue named as a suspect.

Investigate the evidence

You examine crime scenes, reason through clues and piece together evidence to identify suspects and reveal what happened. In the Brainstorm phase, you work out the truth behind a crime or identify suspicious details. In Reconstruction, you arrange the events before and after the crime to rebuild what took place.

Battle with rhetoric

You and your opponents enter the Rift to argue over the case. In Identify Fallacy, you find gaps in an opponent's speech and show how it conflicts with the evidence you have gathered. Your reasoning and rhetoric determine the victor.
