Artificial Detective

Artificial Detective is a narrative-driven action-adventure set in Conglomerate North, a retro-futuristic "decopunk" metropolis inspired by 1930s Art Deco. You play as AD 2846, a robot detective who awakens with fractured memories after humanity has seemingly vanished.
The core mystery revolves around discovering why the humans are gone and why a single human girl has been left behind. The gameplay balances third-person combat, stealth, and environmental hacking. Players can choose their approach—using electromagnetic weapons for direct confrontation or hacking systems to outsmart rogue machines.
Key Characters & Companions
The game features a central trio that serves as the mechanical and emotional core of the story:
AD 2846 (The Protagonist): A "wise-cracking" robot sleuth with a naive dream of becoming human. His only memory is that he once served as a sidekick to a human detective.
Mowgli: A young human girl raised by machines. She is a tech prodigy who handles hacking, crafting, and equipment repairs for the team.
D.A.W.G.: A loyal, high-tech military robodog used for scanning threats, combat support, and navigating the environment.
Technical Features & Mechanics
The Hub: A flying streetcar that the trio uses to travel between the various districts of Conglomerate North.
Branching Narrative: Player decisions and investigation clues shape the path of the story.
Combat/Stealth Hybrid: Players can weaponize the environment or engage in high-octane TPS combat.
