INTERROGATION — Confessions of the Guilty

A psychological thriller where every word can hang you.

Game Overview

INTERROGATION is a text-based psychological thriller game where you play as a suspect being interrogated by Detective Morgan Hayes. Your goal is to survive the interrogation without confessing or cracking under pressure. The game features a noir-inspired atmosphere with procedural audio and pure CSS graphics.

Core Gameplay Mechanics

You are the Suspect - Detective Morgan Hayes believes you committed the crime. Your job: walk out a free person.

Suspicion Meter (top-right) - If it hits 100%, you confess and lose. Keep it under control.

Composure Meter (top-left) - Lying takes a toll. If composure breaks, you crack.

Response System

Choose from four strategic response types:

?? Deny - Safe but predictable

?? Deflect - Risky but can lower suspicion

?? Aggressive - High reward / high risk

?? Truth-bend - Clever lies that may unravel
