A roaring 1920s murder mystery game

Death & Faeology is an RPG where you step into the polished shoes of a 1920s faeologist. You're called to unravel a series of chilling murders targeting members of high society who bear hidden faerie traits. The game blends murder mystery, interactive investigation, and romance.

In Death & Faeology, you navigate elegantly drawn scenes set in opulent mansions, smoky speakeasies, and shadowed alleyways. With your magnifying glass, blacklight, and encyclopedic knowledge of faerie lore, you examine crime scenes for traces of otherworldly magic and piece together clues that ordinary detectives cannot perceive. 

Uncover fae magic hidden in high society 

In Death & Faeology, dialogue choices lead you down branching paths that unlock multiple endings—some focused on justice, others on forbidden love. You may find yourself rekindling an old flame with a tenacious detective or forging a dark bond with a wealthy patron whose motives remain uncertain. Conversations are rich with period detail, and each new revelation deepens the mystery or alters your relationships.  

As you present your findings in tense confrontations, the weight of every decision becomes clear: a single misstep can condemn the innocent or allow the true killer to slip away. The game’s art-novel style brings 1920s New York to life in charcoal tones punctuated by vibrant faerie sigils and glowing evidence. Its jazz-inspired soundtrack shifts seamlessly from elegant to eerie as you move from grand ballrooms to subterranean archives.  

It rewards careful thought and empathetic engagement, making you feel both the thrill of intellectual discovery and the pang of emotional connection. When the final clue falls into place and the culprit is unmasked, you’ll realize that the greatest truth uncovered was how deeply the world of mortals and fae can intertwine. However, pacing might slow down during lengthy interrogation scenes. 

Investigate each crime scene with precision 

Death & Faeology immerses you in a rich, narrative-driven murder mystery set in 1920s New York, blending interactive investigation with supernatural intrigue. You gather evidence and interrogate suspects whose loyalties shift with every revelation. Dialogue choices shape multiple endings and romance options, while stylized art-novel visuals and jazz-infused music deepen the atmosphere. The game rewards keen deduction, emotional engagement, and exploration of dark academia’s secrets.
