About The Posthumous Investigation
The Posthumous Investigation is a crime-solving game set in a hand-drawn version of Rio de Janeiro in 1937. You have one day to solve the crime, investigate 14 characters and determine who the killer is. When the day resets, you keep what you have learned.
Investigate the day
Learn the characters’ schedules, look for contradictions and manipulate their routines to stay ahead of the killer. Use the Thinking Board to connect evidence, reconstruct the timeline and make an accusation. There is no single correct answer: each accusation has its own logic, and you decide what the truth is.
A literary world
The game adapts the work of Brazilian author Machado de Assis into a satirical, witty and dark investigation. Its hand-drawn 1937 Rio de Janeiro is presented with style, sarcasm and atmosphere.
