MicroMacro: Downtown Detective Game Arrives Now

MicroMacro: Downtown Detective is a new Android game from Soft Boiled Games, adapting the acclaimed "MicroMacro: Crime City" board game series. This digital iteration transforms the cooperative board game into a single-player adventure.

Get to work, detective!

MicroMacro: Downtown Detective blends classic wimmelbilder—detailed scenes bustling with people, animals, and objects—with a rich detective narrative. The digital release introduces a fresh city map and a new collection of cases.

However, this isn't your typical hidden object game. You'll investigate robberies, murders, and various shady dealings across an expansive cartoon metropolis.

The unique twist? The city layout remains constant, but your perspective shifts. Characters reappear at different times, allowing you to piece together their day until the truth emerges.

You'll even delve into celebrity scandals, such as uncovering the mystery behind rockstar Axl Otl's death, or tackle smaller yet chaotic crimes like burglary sprees.

Visually, the game features a cartoonish art style dominated by monochrome tones with strategic red accents. This charming aesthetic softens the darker underlying stories, creating a blend of cozy and eerie atmospheres. Take a look at the game in action below.

MicroMacro: Downtown Detective offers engaging gameplay and clever storylines

The game begins with three free cases. One might have you tracking a notorious pickpocket named Polly through a crowded market, while another challenges you to determine how a violinist met their end in a back alley.

For $5.99, you can unlock the full version, adding 22 diverse cases that significantly expand the experience. If you've enjoyed any games from the MicroMacro board game series, you can expect a similarly entertaining time. Download it now on the Google Play Store.
