About the game
A browser-based detective simulation where players operate a fully functional police workstation to solve investigations.
Problem
The goal was to create a browser game that feels less like a traditional game interface and more like operating a real investigative workstation.
Solution
Designed and developed a simulated police operating system where players investigate cases through specialized applications, including email, CCTV, forensic reports, case management, and an investigation board.

Technologies & skills
Lessons Learned
Detective Files showed me how interface design can become the core gameplay mechanic itself. Building the workstation as the game world required treating navigation, information hierarchy, and application interactions as part of the game design.
