The Lost Detective

The Lost Detective is a single-player game in which you play a detective who enters a mysterious industrial town and encounters supernatural events. Set around the 1960s, the town combines machinery and science-fiction devices with fantasy elements rather than adhering strictly to the era. You operate many of these devices to solve puzzles.

The investigation

As the story unfolds, you solve puzzles, help ghosts resolve their problems and bring them to rest. The ghosts and science-fiction elements connect to an evil conspiracy, and you must solve all the puzzles and help most of the ghosts rest in peace to uncover its truth. As you make progress, new puzzles lead into larger mysteries.
