In respect to the murder mystery theme and The Shapeshifting Detective is a shining light in immersive story-telling. It may lack in gameplay variety but the shapeshifting mechanic and how it is integrated into the story really sets it apart.

The Shapeshifting Detective is proof that FMV titles can be done extremely well. The team at D’Avekki show true respect to the genre.

The Shapeshifting Detective on the Switch is the best way to play it since it offers the full big screen experience and has the ability to not only play it on the go but with both button or touch controls. If you enjoy murder mystery games, this one is definitely worth your time. 8/10 Fairy Fencer F: Advent Dark Force Originally released on PS3 before seeing ports to PS4 and PC and scored 7/10 on PS3 Idea Factory International went from only releasing on PlayStation platforms to finding some success initially on PC.

With multiple endings, you steer your mystery taking uncertain turns in the hope they lead you in the right direction. The unique shapeshifting mechanic is absolutely genius. The flow of the scenes is done quite well, with the only hiccup being the time you felt was wasted from showing up at empty rooms. You may feel content with your ending but may also have that itch to try again to see all of the possible outcomes. I don’t tend to watch movies more than once, but one that changes constantly in a video game format is something I can definitely get on board with. Score: Highly Recommended The Shapeshifting Detective was published by Wales Interactive and developed by D’Avekki Studios on Xbox One.
