Guilty – Houston 2015: a corpse, a prison, and very few hours to uncover the truth
The senator's daughter has been found dead in the county women's jail. The press conference is scheduled for tomorrow. You're tasked with finding out *what the hell happened*. Welcome to Guilty – Houston 2015 , a narrative detective game that won't let you rest until the last card.
Through deductions, interrogations, and unexpected revelations, you'll have to gather clues and prepare to answer to scandal-hungry journalists. Reading isn't enough: you have to connect, interpret, and decide. Every choice buys you time or brings you closer to disaster.
You can play it alone or with a group. It can last three hours or three minutes (depending on how good you are... or how lucky you are). But one thing's for sure: when you finish, you'll want to talk about it with someone. Immediately .
What makes Guilty a game worth trying at least once?
- A deep and twist-filled investigative experience
- Engaging narrative: each card is a piece of the puzzle
- Suitable for single player or co-op with up to 99 players
- Perfect for lovers of deductive and thematic games
- A story to be experienced in one breath, in crime series style
You have only a few hours, a press ready to devour you, and a mystery to solve. The question is only one: are you ready to discover the truth... or to lie better than everyone else? 🐸

The only advice? Play it in silence, with a notebook. And be prepared for the final doubt.
