About

Mentalist Detective

Features
Read full description

**Solve murder cases. Interrogate suspects. Uncover the truth.** Mentalist is a detective game where you investigate murder cases, interrogate suspects, uncover hidden clues, and decide who is telling the truth. Every suspect has a story. Your job is to find the lies, connect the evidence, and figure out what really happened. **SOLVE THE CASE** Each investigation is a standalone murder mystery. * Investigate unique crime cases * Search for hidden clues and evidence * Interrogate suspects and challenge their stories * Track alibis, locations, and suspicious details * Connect the evidence and uncover the truth * Decide who to trust — and who to accuse **INTERROGATE YOUR WAY** Forget choosing from a list of predetermined questions. Ask suspects whatever you want. AI-powered characters respond to your questions, react to the conversation, and may lie, mislead you, or reveal something you weren't expecting. The questions you ask can uncover new information — or send your investigation in the wrong direction. **THINK LIKE A DETECTIVE** A suspect's story doesn't always add up. Spot contradictions. Compare alibis. Follow leads. Connect evidence. Decide which details matter and which are distractions. There isn't always an obvious answer. You'll have to figure it out yourself. **CREATE YOUR OWN MYSTERIES** Want to make a case of your own? Create crime cases, characters, scenarios, and mysteries for others to investigate. **CAN YOU SOLVE THE CASE?** Suspects lie. Stories change. Evidence hides in plain sight. Ask the right questions. Find the contradictions. Uncover what really happened. **Download Mentalist for free and start your investigation.**
