Forensic Detective [Real World Programming]

Forensic Detective is an isometric top down roleplaying game, where you use real world programming, scripting, and hacking skills to analyse the mobile devices of suspects, victims, and bystanders to complete the case that's been assigned to you. 

This is an online playable demo/ proof of concept of Forensic Detective. If you like it, let  me know in the comments, and I'll continue development. The goal of the demo is to find out why the victim was killed (hint: they have a mobile device on them, and their email application may have a hint).

Movement

Use the mouse to move across the map. Click where you would like the character to go and the pathfinding will make their way there.

You can walk towards NPCs to automatically start a conversation and move towards a device to automatically connect to it over adb.

Dialogue

Dialogue starts when you reach an NPC who has something to say. Once they've finished talking the dialogue will disappear. 

The Terminal and Commands

Press 'esc' to open your terminal. The input field is automatically selected so once the terminal is visible all you have to do is enter your commands. After your first command you can use the up and down arrow keys to go forward or backward in your command history.
