Description

In Unsolved Crimes, players will take the role of a rookie detective as part of the New York police department homicide division. An aspiring model, Betsy Blake, has disappeared and a social outcast and loner is the prime suspect. The case is a lot deeper than it appears on the surface. Crime is rampant in the city and Blake’s disappearance is the latest in a frightening series of events that are slowly bringing New York to its knees. The local police department is having a hard time cracking the case and Blake’s safe return lies in the detectives’ hands to solve the mystery before it’s too late.

Unsolved Crimes integrates three gaming elements - an action game, a 3D crime investigation and a crime quiz - to provide players with a unique, absorbing experience. The game fully utilizes the DS’ unique Dual Screen, allowing players to immerse themselves in the New York environments. The innovative use of the stylus will allow players to trace marks, routes and memos on suspicious items discovered at crime scenes, all allowing players to move closer to solving the kidnapping mystery. The engaging storyline runs throughout the game, fully immersing players in the world of Unsolved Crimes with more than eight independent cases to solve in the diverse and fully interactive environments.

Features

  • Solve a series of eight mystery cases
     
  • Five separate action games related to the over-arching kidnapping storyline
     
  • Integrates quizzes, 3D investigation and action into the gameplay
     
  • Innovative use of the Nintendo DS stylus –players can move about each of the environments, find clues at crime scenes, solve puzzles, answer questions, trace and mark routes, and note memos on suspicious items discovered at the crime scenes
