In Times of Crypsis
A downloadable game for Windows and macOS
The best detectives go undetected.
cryp·sis ˈkrip-səs: The ability of an organism to conceal itself, especially from a predator, by having a color, pattern, and shape that allows it to blend into the surrounding environment.
Private Eye Cam the Chameleon doesn't get many cases... but when one lands on his desk, it’s bound to be a wild ride. In this interactive mystery, you'll stealthily gather intel, collect evidence, and outsmart those who’d rather keep their secrets buried.
Your client? Sherman the Sheep, a jaded husband looking to divorce his two-timing wife.
Stay sharp, stay hidden, and trust your instincts. Because in this game, getting caught isn’t an option.
A good detective goes unnoticed. A great one? Practically invisible.

Love the mechanics of the game. Sweet but simple, and it is satisfying to eventually find the correct color. I feel some zones are not challenging, and the hardest level is actually level 1, and it gets easier from there. Luna the sheep's AI is not that engaging, and once you get past her, it is easy to pick up all the evidence and leave. The difficulty can be improved, but overall, a great start, and really willing to play future updates!
