A complete time-loop detective story set in the 1940s — solve a case before it even happens in a single, self-contained sitting.
Crimson Spotlight
SteamImagine arriving at a movie premiere in the 1940s. Ten minutes later, the main actor is shot under the spotlight by accident… or maybe on purpose?
Luckily, you are Thomas Ireham, a famous detective who can rewind time.
You jump back to your arrival and try to solve the case before it even happens. But it won’t be easy. The guest list is long, the venue is huge, and some areas are completely inaccessible. So you rewind time again. And again. Each loop teaches you something new.
People move. Conversations change. Events unfold whether you’re ready or not. Some moments help you. Others work against you. Time keeps moving — even when you stop to think. By rewinding the final ten minutes over and over, you slowly piece together the truth. Where people go. What they know. What only happens if you’re in the right place at the right moment.
This is a complete, feature-length detective story built around observation, deduction, and understanding how the evening really works.
During each ten-minute loop, time-based events play out independently of you. Learning when and where things happen, and how they interact, is the key to solving the case.

Every guest has something to hide, something to reveal, or somewhere to be. Conversations change depending on timing, context, and what you already know.

The premiere takes place inside a sprawling mansion, filled with restricted areas, hidden paths, and small details that only reveal their importance over time.
