Minimal Crimes: Noir Riddles – A lateral thinking detective game for iOS. Solve cold cases. Interrogate suspects. Think like noir. [Free]

Hey r/playmygame! I'm a solo dev and just launched my first game on iOS.

Minimal Crimes: Noir Riddles is a lateral thinking puzzle game set in a minimalist noir world.

How it works: each case gives you a short story + a pool of evidence keywords. You select the exact combination that fits the truth on a Deduction Board. If even one keyword is wrong, the case stays unsolved — like classic "turtle soup" puzzles, but with a full noir detective narrative.

Features:

• Deduction Board – build your theory from story + evidence keywords

• Interrogation Mode – question suspects, spot contradictions, unlock hidden clues

• Time Attack levels with heartbeat haptics

• Detective ID card, ranks from Rookie to Mastermind, medals

• Progressive hint system ("Classified Information") – nudges without spoiling

• Daily streak bonuses

• Chapter 1 is completely free – Chapter 2 unlocked with a one-time purchase, no subscriptions

Would love to hear what you think of the deduction mechanic!
