About Under the Lamp
Under the Lamp is a free online Puzzle game that runs right in your browser. There is nothing to download and no account to create: press Play and you are in. It works on desktop, laptop, tablet and mobile.
A noir detective game with a new case every night. Question four suspects, each voiced by an AI you can ask anything, search the house room by room, and hold up the one card that breaks a lie - a witness who passed an empty room, a telephone log, a billiard table nobody played on - until the story changes in front of you. Then name who did it, with what, and why. Every case is built from a seed so it is always fair and solvable, and it plays without the AI too.
