Exhibit A

Crime scene art gallery: Through the eyes of a detective, you try to solve a murder and the theft of an AI-generated image. From a first-person perspective, you question witnesses, find clues and reconstruct the crime. The twist: the suspects are the exhibited paintings and sculptures themselves! What if you could talk to art objects? Exhibit A manages to create a deep and coherent gaming experience with a simple premise. This is particularly evident in the lovingly crafted characters and paintings that players interact with or find objects in. Each individual work of art has a comprehensible backstory, different visual styles and characteristics, and its own soundtrack. In terms of gameplay, Exhibit A does everything right: everything is immediately understandable for the player, runs smoothly, and you can concentrate fully on finding the perpetrator and convicting them through various descriptions of the night of the crime.
