Burn Archives
Burn Archives
A narrative-focused investigation game set in a city where the truth is rarely spoken out loud.
You arrive in a new city as a recently assigned detective. The streets feel calm, the people polite — but the silence between words is louder than it should be. Cases don’t quite add up. Memories don’t match records. And the more you ask, the less people seem willing to say.
Your work is simple: observe, listen, connect the clues — and try not to lose track of what is real.
What to Expect
- Dialogue and environment-driven storytelling
- Psychological atmosphere with subtle tension
- Clues hidden in details — not exposition
Features
Chapter 1
- First storyline introducing the city and its people
- Refined controls and performance improvements
- Atmospheric lighting and environmental detail

Very interesting game, I like it!
It doesn't look like there is a way to lose the blackjack game
Looks like you’re a pretty good player! Some people said it took them more than 10 tries. I’m planning to add a way to play more rounds, so maybe you’ll feel the struggle a bit more next time! Thanks for playing!
I deliberately got more than 21 and only picked 1 card and it still looked like I won.
Thanks for pointing this out — that’s definitely a bug. I’ll review it and fix it in the next patch. Appreciate you playing and testing the game!
