Artificial Detective

Artificial Detective is the debut title from indie studio VIVIX—a team composed of talented artists who have worked across games and film, from Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, Control, and Dead Space, to the Netflix science-fiction anthology series, Love, Death & Robots. At a high level, the studio describes their game as an action adventure title that features a mix of companion and survival mechanics, all set in a ‘decopunk’-inspired dystopian future. Naturally, after a mainly cinematic reveal, we wanted to know more about the game itself, so we reached out to VIVIX’s CEO and co-founder Ilya Kuzyuk and vice president of production and co-founder Vadim Krayevoy to learn more about Artificial Detective‘s world, its intriguing-looking combat system, and that adorable robodog.
