Let Sleeping Dogs Lie

Let Sleeping Dogs Lie is a short but extremely engaging investigation game, where you play as an agent who is tracking down a missing person… and then discovers much more. With a slow, suggestive narrative, each clue will gradually reveal a dark conspiracy behind the death of a journalist named Robert Noick.

Let Sleeping Dogs Lie opens with a distress message

You receive a broken audio clip - the panicked voice of Robert, an investigative reporter for the Tribune. He tells of a meeting with an informant at Drogo’s bar near Bazetti Lake. But instead of a peaceful meeting, Robert is kidnapped, hooded, and driven away in a car. By analyzing his words—directions, locations, and landmarks like Caden Tower or the privacy hotel - you will follow each clue to determine Robert’s current location.

Explore the crime scene - the evidence doesn’t lie

From scattered blood traces and unusual bruising to a hat with long black strands of hair… the scene suggests that Robert may have been the victim of foul play. Notably, he was able to send out one last message—guiding you to the critical location just in time.

You'll take on the role of an investigator: examining the scene carefully, assessing physical clues like footprints or personal items, identifying traits such as height or hair type, and analyzing evidence found at the scene. Step by step, you’ll compile a suspect profile and try to piece together what really happened.

A series of suspects in Let Sleeping Dogs Lie

As the list of suspects appears, you will look up each person in turn, comparing the details: who has long black hair? Who is approximately 1.65 meters tall? Who has visible scratches on their hands? All signs point to Leo Adams, a taxi driver who seems “too timely, too close to the scene of the incident.”

In the interrogation room, Leo eventually confesses - but claims he was only hired to intimidate the victim, not to cause harm. The real question is… who hired Leo?

A mysterious corporation and a hidden conspiracy

Robert investigates Techné—a large corporation that operates a system of “privacy hotels” where no ID is required to check in, leaving no trace. Such hotels are easy places to… kill someone.

Though the case seems closed, questions still linger—about motives, about silence, and about who’s really pulling the strings. If you’re still craving mystery, but with a more emotional twist, Myosotis might be your next stop. A quiet, poetic tale of memory and love, it asks: What would you do if you could turn back time… just once?
