How to Play Imagine Detective
Quick start
Read the first case, speak to the available characters and inspect the lead they provide. Complete the prompted mini-game, then check the next investigation objective.
Controls
Use the stylus and displayed menus for dialogue, clues and mini-games. Tap the current targets when an action prompt appears; return to investigating after the short challenge.
Imagine Detective — About this game
Imagine: Detective follows a young investigator through cases around her school and town. Talk to people, inspect the current lead and gather clues before moving the investigation forward. Mini-games interrupt the reading with a specific task; one confrontation asks for falling fist icons rather than a free-form combat system. Begin with the first case, remember what the conversation established and return to the objective when an activity ends. Careful observation and following the clue trail matter more than pressing through dialogue without reading.
