Building a community for fans and developers of mystery themed video games
An introduction to the mission and goals of Mystery Gamedev.
Mystery games are fun to play, but hard to make.
As fans of the genre ourselves, they’re also hard to find.
And as devs, it’s even harder to find the people who want to play them.
Our community connects developers of mystery games with the people who want to play them. We also provide resources for developers to make better games in a more efficient way. Everybody wins.
Mystery games have many different sub-genres, including:
detective whodunits
escape rooms
death games
battles of wits
Or any other game with deduction at its core.
All of these games are likely to be enjoyed by the same, mystery-loving audience.
And so we asked ourselves the questions:
Where do we even begin to look for our audience?
Where does our audience begin to look for us?
Despite the massive popularity of a growing number of mystery-themed indie games, no community or support system existed to connect fans and devs together.
That’s the purpose of our community.
