About Occult Crime Police
Occult Crime Police drops you into Boomtown USA, a quirky desert town riddled with secrets. You play as washed‑up sheriff Miranda Warren, tasked with solving two novella‑length murder mysteries linked to a mysterious government base.
Explore illustrated locations, interrogate suspects using Persuasion, and piece together evidence while a comedic tone balances the darker themes. The game features a full original soundtrack, optional text‑skipping, and a GUI glow‑up for a polished visual experience.
01 / THE GUIDE
Investigation Mechanics
Players comb every nook of the crime scene, gathering evidence that may or may not be directly relevant. The assistant often comments on irrelevant items, adding humor and depth. During Interrogations, Persuasion lets you exploit a witness’s psychology to coax information, while presenting evidence can shift the dialogue toward the truth.
- Observe the assistant’s remarks; they often comment on items you examine, even irrelevant ones.
- Use Persuasion early to establish rapport before presenting hard evidence.

Story Cases
Case 1 revisits the missing‑persons incident that ruined Miranda’s reputation, now tied to a murder at the same government base. Expect a condescending FBI agent and a suspect who lies to prove his own guilt. Case 2 introduces a spirit medium offering a seance, stirring town tension and potential motives for murder, delivering two distinct mystery narratives.
- Pay attention to character backstories; they often motivate their actions.
- Compare the motives presented in both cases to spot thematic parallels.

Audio & Visual Presentation
