New Drawer was a city of sin, a cesspool of all the lowest scum you could find. If they weren't already pink by the mishandled wash of corruption, you could bet they were lost and alone, doomed to search forever for their lost partner.

And in the middle of all this mess, there was I. Frank Sockowski, Private Detective.
I made my coin by looking into the dirty heels of this city, snooping around, and solving crime.

GAMEPLAY.
As a private detective (and woolly sock) it is your duty to investigate gruesome cases. Armed with the sharpest wits in New Drawers and your trusty magnifying glass, you get information through interrogation, classic sleuthing around crime scenes, and getting gossip from the local bar.
You unlock new clues as you progress the story, and once you are confident in your findings, you can carry out an arrest on your main suspect.

CASES.
The game currently have 3 cases, with around 2-3 hours of gameplay each.

Shot and Directed - At the Holeywood studio, disaster strikes as in the middle of a hero-vs-villain climax, a pistol goes off with a loaded round. Detective Sockowski is forced to dive into the world of production fraud, actress drama and cinema fanatism to get to the root of this dastardly crime.

Puppets of Power - A grizzle murder happens in the city high-rise, right in the richest and most powerful district of New Drawer. A district attorney with ties to all layers of society, and a grieving newly millionaire widow will test Detective Sockowski's sleuthing skills.

Stabbed at Sea - Taking a break from the dark city and boarding the S.S. Herringbone, Detective Sockowski and his new femme fatale ally takes on a murder before it even happens! But suddenly, the light dims, and the world gets turned upside down, and sadly no one will be left alive to enjoy the chef's famous Charlotte cake!

PRODUCTION.
This game was initially made during the Global Game Jam 2021 but has since been expanded, adjusted, voiced, and polished.
The main crux was that we had no artists in our team, so we had to improvise. But we had a bunch of socks and some googly-eyes on hand, so sock puppets were made, filmed on a green screen, and put into the game.
It has a cast of amateur voice actors from our circle of friends.
