Artificial Detective

Artificial Detective is the debut action adventure from VIVIX, a studio with talent from Love, Death & Robots, DreamWorks and Crytek. You play AD 2846, a robot detective with broken memories who wakes up in a decopunk city run by robots that have gone rogue, and you have to find out why humans have vanished.

You aren’t alone. DAWG is a loyal military robodog and Mowgli is a human girl raised by machines, and together they form an underdog team in Conglomerate North, a crime-ridden metropolis controlled by the sinister Rise Corp. The city is built in layers of districts, and you can explore, gather clues and resources, and choose how to handle each encounter.

Combat gives you options. You can use electromagnetic weapons, hack systems, turn the environment against enemies, or stay hidden and outsmart them. Your companions are central to how you progress rather than simple sidekicks: building trust with them unlocks abilities, and they help you craft and repair equipment, scan threats and open new ways to explore and fight.

You travel between locations on a flying streetcar, find hidden routes, meet strange robots and face bosses guarding the next piece of the mystery, with each district revealing more about the world and its rules.
