Thank you for amazing year!
2026-01-01
With the new year celebrations, we want to thank all the users that took part in The Lone Detective game in 2025. The number of users that put their brains to the test have jumped (compared to 2024) by 246%, which is amazing! Together, we put to jail almost 3 times more criminals than the previous year.
And, of course, special thanks to the donors, who helped us cover the costs of running this game, thank you for supporting our independent game!
We are currently working on a few improvements to the user interface (one of which, the global and country rankings, is already present) and a few new cases for you to challenge yourselves with. Also, we are working on introducing a new game feature, so there would be more variety of types of cases.
