'CrimeSight' Rolls Out Content Update, Free To Play until Next Week

by Rainier on June 21, 2022 @ 9:25 a.m. PDT

CrimeSight is a new type of competitive mystery game that revolves around a murder case in the "predicted future".

A new kind of Mystery Simulation game where you must deduce not only the culprit, but the victim as well!

In CrimeSight investigators will work with an AI called “Sherlock” to prevent a future murder cooked up by another AI known as “Moriarty.” However, there is a traitor in their midst, secretly helping the Moriarty AI. Players will have to decide who they can trust as they try to deduce the truth.

2075, London

Heinous crime around the world has been reduced by 90% thanks to the implementation of a “Foresight AI” which is able to predict future crimes based on information found on the network.
However, the Foresight AI predicts a future where the world falls into ruin due to incidents which cannot be prevented.
This alarming discovery leaves the system's architects little choice but to act. They pour their resources into developing an AI whose sole purpose is to investigate and prevent this apocalyptic crime.

Sherlock. Named after the legendary enigmatic detective of fiction, this AI's raison d'être is investigation.
He alone has the ability to unravel the truth from a twisted web of mysteries.
And like the spider that sits motionless in the centre of its web, he awaits the arrival of the only prey equal to his abilities—Moriarty, a criminal mastermind.

Konami Digital Entertainment announced “Free Weekend” for CrimeSight is now underway and runs until 10am on June 27 (PDT) alongside new in-game content.

The free weekend is a great opportunity for players to jump into the social deduction game to deceive their friends and explore the new content for free. Players satisfied with the game can also take advantage of the 33% off discount sale until 10am on July 7(PDT).

Additionally, a collaborative event with "Project Winter" will be held. During the event, characters from “Project Winter” will appear in the game as traitors and limited-time cursor avatars will be available.

Furthermore, CrimeSight’s new content update features new maps, a new item, and a new character: Sherlock’s trusty companion himself, AI Watson.

AI Watson bio:

An assistant AI to help Sherlock, derived from ForeSight AI to reduce uncertainties in the investigation of pending crimes. While it cannot predict the future, it can analyze an investigation scene and detect where food resources are which are necessary in maintaining Pawns. It's influence over Pawns is comparable to Sherlock, but it can control fewer pawns. It is a counterbalance against the extra information Moriarty is purvey to. It will be a reliable partner to Sherlock.

Key Features:

  • A murder case where the victim is yet unknown:
  • A group of travelers get snowed in by a blizzard, leaving them to fend for themselves until help arrives.
  • Unbeknownst to them, there is a “Villain” hidden among them with their murderous sights set on a “Target” they wish to destroy.
  • The Moriarty side player must meet several conditions before they can succeed in their murder plot. Likewise, the players on the Sherlock side will be working to put an end to the lethal games. The truth of who the Villain and who the Target are will come to light as the game unfolds.

CrimeSight is avaialble for PC (Steam) at $19.99.
