Detective Case and Clown Bot in: Murder in the Hotel Lisbon vs Imagine: Detective

Murder in the Hotel Lisbon is a retro‑style point‑and‑click adventure that throws you into a hilariously twisted murder case. Play as the legendary Detective Case and the eccentric Clown Bot as they untangle a web of love affairs, prophecy, and absurd clues to explain a victim’s 14 stab wounds while sipping coffee. The game features a simple click‑to‑interact interface, an inventory that can be accessed at any time, and the ability to save anywhere. Its comedic writing and puzzle‑heavy design pay homage to classic 80‑ and 90‑year‑old adventure games while delivering a fresh, indie twist.

Imagine: Detective lets players dive into a series of bite‑size mini‑games that each represent a clue‑finding activity, from fingerprint analysis to hidden‑object searches. The game blends light puzzle solving with a narrative about becoming a detective, making it perfect for younger gamers who love mystery stories. Designed by Ubisoft Sao Paulo, the title offers a single‑player experience with simple controls and colorful visuals, encouraging players to think like a sleuth while enjoying a relaxed, adventure‑style gameplay loop.
