Our verdict

6/10

  • Difficulty: Easy
  • Players: 1
  • Playtime: 1–3 h

Silly Suspects is an Early Access comedy detective game. Each case drops you into an absurd crime scene in a messy town full of strange people; you question a lineup of eccentric suspects, play mini-games to win their trust, learn their quirks and cross them off one by one, Guess Who style, until only the culprit is left. Cases are generated, so no two are the same. It suits solo players after a light, silly deduction game.

With 15 Steam reviews, 12 positive, the evidence is thin. Fans enjoy the weird characters, the silly walks and pets, and the fact that you still have to pay attention to clues and personalities. Several call it a good concept that is fun when it works.

The negative reviews all point to bugs: suspects who speak gibberish, characters marked for questioning who have nothing to say, and cases that cannot be completed. Review playtimes are short, around one to three hours. It is cheap and promising, but in its current Early Access state it is wiser to wait for fixes.

Pros

  • Guess Who style elimination of eccentric suspects
  • Generated cases mean each run is different
  • Absurd humour and odd characters

Cons

  • Early Access bugs can make cases impossible to finish
  • Suspects sometimes have nothing useful to say
  • Only 15 reviews so far

About

From the Steam store page · View on Steam

Solve ridiculous crimes in a world where every suspect is completely unhinged. Question the lineup, learn what makes each of them tick, and work out who did it.

Every case happens somewhere that makes no sense. Banana peels, broken printers and other junk are scattered  everywhere. It looks like nobody in this town has ever cleaned up.

Meet a cast of unique suspects. Each one has their own quirks, fears and questionable life choices. Play silly minigames
to earn their trust and find out what they are really like. The more you learn, the easier it gets to rule them out... or not.

Rule out suspects one by one. Use what you have learned about each suspect to cross them off the list, Guess Who style. Keep going until only one is left.

Step into a world of pure nonsense. People wander, dance and argue in ways that don't make sense. Everyone you meet is bizarre, unpredictable and a little bit suspicious.

  • Absurd, comedy-driven detective gameplay

  • No two cases are exactly the same

  • Endless unique suspects and mysteries

  • Silly minigames to earn trust

  • Deduction-based gameplay inspired by Guess Who

  • A strange, living world full of surprises
