Cold Case 98
A downloadable Detective
Doors 98 is a browser-based detective mystery game set inside a fictional Windows 98 desktop environment.
You play as a detective logging into the Cold Case Division system. Each case puts you in front of a full retro desktop — emails from suspects and witnesses, crime scene photos, a case file, a personal notebook, and a corkboard evidence board where you can pin and arrange sticky notes. Read carefully. People lie. Alibis fall apart. The details matter.
10 original murder cases — each with randomized variants, so the killer changes between playthroughs. A built-in tutorial walks you through everything before the real cases begin.
Features:
Fully simulated Windows 98 desktop with draggable, stackable windows
Email client with unread/read tracking and HQ response emails on accusation
Evidence board with color-coded sticky notes you can drag and arrange
Detective's notebook with per-case auto-save
Procedural audio engine — ambient rain, clock ticks, keyboard clicks, boot music
Persistent save data across sessions
Case progress tracker
Best experienced in a dark room with the sound on.
