Overview

Dupery is a solo deduction game that drops you into a noir city overrun by a powerful criminal syndicate. As a detective, your job is to hunt down the syndicate's members and uncover the head of the network.

The game blends investigation, strategy, and a healthy dose of paranoia, all wrapped in a turn-based tactical framework. Developed by Gilded Rune Games and published by Yogscast Games and GamerSky Games, it launched on October 15, 2026, and is available on Steam with full English audio support.

Highlights

  • 175+ Unique Roles: The game features four categories of roles—Innocent, Meddler, Underling, and Traitor—each with its own behaviors and tells. You'll encounter over 175 individual roles across your cases, many of whom will lie to your face.
  • Investigation & Deduction: Each case requires you to explore regions, interview suspects, and piece together clues. Your detective skills are your primary weapon, but so is a healthy distrust of everyone you meet.
  • Reputation & Consequences: Wrongful arrests can cost you your job. You must balance your reputation while evading the syndicate's attempts to deceive you. Every decision matters, and the line between justice and error is razor-thin.

Who It's For

If you enjoy social deduction games but prefer a solo experience, Dupery is tailor-made for you. It's also a great fit for fans of detective stories, crime fiction, and turn-based tactics.

The game's roguelike elements add replayability, making each playthrough a fresh puzzle. Whether you're a seasoned strategist or a newcomer to deduction games, the intuitive case-based structure makes it easy to dive in.
