"Reversal Ark" team's new work "Detective with Disease" challenges the reality of abnormal cognition
The highly anticipated independent game development team PHOSEPO announced that its latest suspense puzzle work "Detective of Disease" was officially launched on the Steam platform, and the game's first promotional video was released. It is reported that this game is expected to meet players in 2026, bringing a new experience to many players who love reasoning and puzzle solving.
"Detective of Disease" is a suspense puzzle game that cleverly combines "natural reasoning" and "cognitive abnormalities". The story of the game revolves around 13 "disease-capable people" suffering from special cognitive diseases. They are involved in a death game called "Must Killing Not Discovered". In this creepy world, lies and evidence are twisted into completely different appearances from reality, and players will look for the truth hidden in chaos in this game of cognitive collapse.
The official introduction stated that "Detective of Disease" will lead players into a spiritual battle, and players need to find clues in the maze of lies woven by the sick and capable persons to solve a series of confusing causes of death. For example, why is the body only on the right half? Why is everyone's face disappearing? Why is the total number of people in the secret room always changing? These problems are waiting for players to crack, master clues, break cognitive confusion, and find out the real culprit behind the chaos.
One of the features of the game is that the sick person will use the "perceptual disease" he suffers from to build a unique murder trick, thereby creating a murder scene that is unreasonable. While solving these crimes, players also need to deeply understand the mental illnesses the murderer suffers from. In order to uncover the truth, only by understanding these mental states can we better analyze motivations and crimes.
"Detective of Different Disease" also has a compelling "debate model". In this mode, the player must listen carefully to the other party's words, look for flaws, and strongly refute from the clues they have in their hands. The team said that in the tense confrontation between logic and intuition, players must always maintain a high level of concentration in order not to be confused by the opponent's lies.
The game contains 13 unique cognitive diseases, ranging from obsessive-compulsive disorder to facial blindness to Alice syndrome. Only by truly understanding their abnormal thinking can players see the motivations hidden behind them and bring breakthroughs to the resolution of cases.
In terms of art performance, the development team announced that "Detective of the Disease" will use full Live2D painting and high-quality plot performances, telling the story through delicate character expressions and tension CG and animations, bringing players a strong sense of plot immersion and visual impact.
It is worth mentioning that "Detective of Alien Disease" was publicly experienced at the 2024 G-EIGHT Game Exhibition and the 2025 Taipei Game Exhibition, and has received widespread attention and eager anticipation from players. Now, with the official launch of the Steam page, players can finally learn more about the game and prepare for the upcoming release in advance.
In short, inference and puzzle-solving games such as "Detective of the Disease" will continue to challenge the limits of players' thinking, making people look forward to future game releases. As 2026 approaches, more in-depth information about the game will gradually surface. Please stay tuned for subsequent updates.
