Overview

Dark days in Smalltown, a quiet suburb where nothing ever happens... The corpse of Mr Shuman was found in unusual circumstances. The local police has never seen a similar crime, and is even unable to determine the murder weapon! So they’re asking for your help to clear up this case. Who’s guilty? What weapon was used? Let’s find out, and prove you’re the best detective in town! Small Detectives is a light and fast paced whodunnit game, kind of a modernized version of Clue.
