About

Open Verdict

Features
Read full description

Every detective game has the same rhythm: gather the evidence, ask the right questions, name the killer. Open Verdict keeps the rhythm and rebuilds the interrogation. There's no multiple choice. You sit across from the suspect, ask whatever you want in your own words, and they answer in character. They lie. They contradict each other. They slip, and a sharp detective catches it. HOW A CASE WORKS • Read the briefing as the case opens on its scene • Examine the evidence where it was found • Question every suspect: ask anything, or pick from the prepared lines • Catch the lie, then press them with the evidence • Name the killer and attach your proof. Three pieces that agree make an AIRTIGHT case; a guess is just a guess EVERY SUSPECT COULD BE THE KILLER Solved a case? Play it again. On most cases the killer can be someone else next time, with their own motive, their own lies and their own trail of evidence. FIVE ERAS OF MURDER Victorian London, 1920s Prohibition, the gritty 1970s, the present day and a neon near future, each with its own Bureau captain, forensics expert and coroner. HEAR THEM Recorded voices for every briefing, every piece of evidence and every verdict. Play a voiced case and every suspect answers you out loud. Your first voiced case is free. MAKE IT YOURS • Choose your detective: portraits across every heritage, young to seasoned • Choose your interrogation style. Suspects react to how you work a room, never with more than they know • Choose your difficulty: Guided, Standard or Hard-boiled • Rise through the ranks from Rookie to Chief Inspector, earn commendations and a nickname, and fill your gallery with every killer you've caught SEASONAL CASE FILES New cases arrive with the seasons, and they're yours to keep. IN YOUR LANGUAGE English, Spanish and Portuguese (Brazil): every screen, every case, and the suspects' answers. The recorded voices speak all three. FREE TO PLAY • Cases you can play with prepared lines, no questions required • 50 free questions to ask anything, on any case • An ad between cases. Any purchase removes ads for good WHEN YOU WANT MORE • Question packs: buy once, they never expire • Bureau Premium: questions every month, plus every new case No energy timers. No loot boxes. Nothing expires. Stop for a month and pick up where you left off. ABOUT THE AI • Suspect dialogue is written in the moment by Anthropic's Claude, from authored case files, with safety rules • Recorded voices are made with ElevenLabs from authored scripts • Artwork is made with fal.ai Flux from authored prompts • Full details on first launch, in the app, and at openverdict.app/privacy Digital Horizon Software LLC · Raleigh, NC support@openverdict.app · openverdict.app Privacy: https://openverdict.app/privacy · Terms: https://openverdict.app/terms
