Another day, another job. You work as a Solo - a contract killer. Today is June 30, 3030. Eladia Volante, the Operations Specialist at Suto-Shira, has contacted you at Gikhusko Tower, the hotel where you and the other freelance Solos are registered for hire. Apparently Suto-Shira's cofounder, Ken Suto, was found dead at Shenzen Industrial Area this morning. Eladia wants you to do what you do best - find the killer and give him what's coming to him.

I wrote this game back in 2015 when my husband made a website inspired by the board game Sherlock Holmes Consulting Detective. That website is long gone, but we recovered the data files and I made it playable again for The Case of the Thinky Game Jam. I did not update any of the story.

In the game you are solving a murder by visiting various links, each of which can have a story associated with it. It's up to you which ones to visit - you get points for answering questions correctly at the end, but you lose points for visiting too many links.

That was a neat intrigue! I have played Sherlock Holmes Consulting Detective before as I own one of them. It was a nice homage and in the same vein for sure, although in a cyberpunk setting.

I finished the game with 70 points - got all the answers but visited 15 links.

Keep up the good work!

Thanks so much for playing!
