Murders on the Yangtze River

Murders on the Yangtze River is a Chinese-style side-scrolling detective adventure game developed by OMEGAMES STUDIO.

There is no such thing as a perfect crime — only clues that have yet to be discovered.

A lie is simply a fact disguised in another form. Can you uncover the truth hidden beneath layers of deception and piece together the final answer from a series of intertwined cases?

The seemingly unrelated cases that occur across different locations are, in fact, connected by countless threads to the greater mystery surrounding the protagonist.
