Unemployed Detective

A short indie horror game about haunted houses, twisted memories, and survival.

🔪 Overview

You’ve been here before.

You’re a survivor of the supernatural — or at least that’s what the investigator says. The investigator wants details

Explore a mysterious property filled with puzzles, ghosts, locked doors, and things that want you dead. Your only chance? Follow the clues, stay vigilant, and maybe… just maybe… escape alive.

🎮 Features

  • 🧩 3 puzzles (2 light, 1 challenging)
  • 🔫 Gun-based combat with 5 monster encounters
  • 👻 Disappearing ghosts and atmospheric hauntings
  • 🔍 Interactive environment — open drawers, search cabinets, find keys
  • 🧠 Multiple endings depending on what you discover
  • 🏃 Quick Time Event and maze sequence
  • 🪵 A dark backstory told through narration and scattered clues
  • 💡 Built entirely solo using Unity (with free assets)

⏱️ Playtime: ~1 to 1.5 hours

📦 Status: Standalone game (2 additional games coming in future updates)

💬 Developer Note

This game was made in 1 week as part of a  university friends group challenge and learning. It’s a short, strange, story-driven horror experience.

I am trying to make a community to be able to make my final dream game.

If you enjoy it or have feedback, I’d love to hear it — this is just the beginning.

Way more to come.
