Release This is Psycho-Sleuth, a murder mystery where each of the 13 main characters has a very rare (and very contagious) mental disorder
Heyo everyone! We’re a five-man indie team from Taiwan called PHOSEPO and this here is our latest project, Psycho-Sleuth.
The story is about 13 people who are trapped in a death game organized by the insidious Li Cult. The prize for winning? Why, no less than the chance to ascend to Godhood… if they can get away with murder most foul!
However, none of the characters participating in this deadly trial are exactly normal, not by a long stretch. For example, one witness cannot lie even if they wanted to, while another has spatial neglect and cannot see the whole left section of the room. A third cannot distinguish between different faces. A fourth believes she is dead… and so on, you get the idea (I’m not giving them all away here, that would ruin the fun)
The catch here is that these conditions spread to everyone around them, making for a thrilling and oftentimes darkly comedic (and sometimes simply terrifying) game of cat and mouse. Trust becomes complicated when even the most sincere witness can be wrong, while someone with malicious intentions might reveal the truth without realizing it.
Be that as it may, your duty is to investigate the murders, work out what each witness could actually perceive, then pick apart their testimony in timed debates. If you've played any of the Ace Attorney games, the gameplay should already feel somewhat familiar to you.
Our demo is on Steam right now, covering Chapter 1 and the start of Chapter 2:

The full game will launch on November 5!
Also, feel free to ask any more specific questions you might have about our game, I’ll stick around for a while and answer what I can.

Discussion Free Visual Novel about Adopting Cute Aliens
reddit.comHello! I have been so excited working on this project. I feel it is turning out very well and the game is btw 100% free. Full disclosure: The game is vibe coded (coding by ai) but it does feature a tremendous amount of my own writing and story. It has an innovative conversation cube system that I would love to hear your feedback on. You are attempting to adopt cute aliens whom you will send on prospecting missions. I am wondering what other kinds of elements I could incorporate that people would enjoy. This is going to be a long term project for me after all.
We have 3 aliens so far and I'd love to hear your thoughts on whether you enjoy this writing style and what you feel could use improvement. Anything that you like and dislike. I am adding new features every week and your game saves automatically. Please let me know what you think! I've never had more fun my life and being able to create my own visual novels with this technology and finally put my creativity to use is really inspiring.

Discussion I've been working on a psychological VN where you secretly write songs for a rising pop star - Ghostwriter
Hey everyone!
I've been working on Ghostwriter since February, and I wanted to finally share it with the VN community.
The idea started with a simple question: what if you were the person writing a famous singer's most personal songs, but nobody knew you existed?
In Ghostwriter, you play as a songwriter working behind a rising dark-pop star. She's the face, the voice, and the one everyone celebrates. You're the person behind the words.
What interested me most was exploring how something as personal as a song can become a product and what happens when the person writing it starts uncovering things that were never meant to be public.
I also wanted the player to do more than choose dialogue options. So I'm developing a song-building system where you gather fragments from conversations and other sources, interpret them, and shape the lyrics. The direction you take influences the music, the characters, and the unfolding story.
It's a psychological story about ambition, identity, creative ownership, and the price of success.
I'm currently working on the playable demo, and the Steam page has just gone live.
A little context for the screenshots:
- Zoe Ell - the rising dark-pop star at the center of the story.
- Adam's Nightmare - a glimpse into the darker, psychological side of the game.
- Adam Palmer - the songwriter you play as, living his life away from the spotlight.
- Song Builder - where you turn collected fragments into lyrics and shape the emotional direction of a song.
I'd love to hear what you think about it?!
