What is 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.
