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 â but the silence between words is louder than it should be. Cases donât quite add up. Memories donât match records. And the more you ask, the less people seem willing to say.
Your work is simple: observe, listen, connect the clues â 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 â not exposition
Features
Chapter 1
- First storyline introducing the city and its people
- Refined controls and performance improvements
- Atmospheric lighting and environmental detail

im so very late to comment but i created an account just to tell you this game is soo cute! i loved the story and its such a nice concept. i do have two things to point out tho:
1- when i used the "guide" to find out more about the murder, i didnt know what my accuracy was (i found a few things out after submitting it but no original correction).
2- i lovedd the dialogues and the characters, but a few times i saw umas frases em portuguĂȘs escapando KKKK (in the english version) i found it bem engraçado mas nĂŁo acho que tenha sido proposital entĂŁo im just letting you know.
i really loved this game, one of my favorites! congrats on this awesome job!!
Espero que consiga traduzir minha resposta pois meu inglĂȘs ta bem enferrujado, mas muito obrigado pelo seu comentĂĄrio eu n sabia desse problema de falas em portuguĂȘs jjkkkkkkkkk, isso acontece pq a lĂngua nativa e em portuguĂȘs oq faz as vezes acontecer esses pequenos erros mas vou melhorar com seu feedback, esse foi meu primeiro projeto ent tenho sempre oq evoluir, de qualquer forma mt obrigado Deus te abençoe
CARA NEEM TE PREOCUPA!! eu sou brasileira KKKK e eu ameei teu projeto! eu so tomei um susto quando eu vi as falas em portuguĂȘs e decidi comentar sobre pra pessoas q nĂŁo falam portuguĂȘs. nadaaa, Deus abençoe sempre!
Very interesting game, I like it!
It doesn't look like there is a way to lose the blackjack game
Looks like youâre a pretty good player! Some people said it took them more than 10 tries. Iâm planning to add a way to play more rounds, so maybe youâll 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 — thatâs definitely a bug. Iâll review it and fix it in the next patch. Appreciate you playing and testing the game!
