Obsidian Moon is a text-based detective adventure-simulator that puts you in the shoes of a 1930s homicide detective, Sam Carter, once-respected but now haunted by grief and failure.
As Carter, you’ll be asked to solve a string of interconnected cases through logic, instinct, and the steady collapse of your own sanity. Armed with vintage forensics, gritty intuition, and limited time, you’ll follow leads, interrogate suspects, and make costly choices that may bring you closer to the truth, or break you entirely.

Genre-bending Investigation system - A fusion of card-based mechanics like Stacklands, and Cultist Simulator, economy elements like Papers, Please and classic Point & Click adventure puzzle-solving.
A noir descent into madness – choose between stability or spiraling; every lead costs you time, money… and maybe your mind.
Multiple modes – including a Hardcore permadeath mode and immersive Noir black-and-white filter.
Three narrative lenses – track the crumbling psyche of Carter, the reactions of Chief O’Hara, and the naïve wonder of your partner, “The Kid.”
