Summary

Hidden Detective, a full-motion video (FMV) interactive drama co-produced by Dayu Kuaiyou, Bainian Qiancheng, Zhonghui Pictures, and Huanrui Star, and co-published by Fenglin Studio and Yixiang Huyue Interactive, has launched its free playable demo on Steam Next Fest 2026 on August 20, accompanied by a new trailer. Directed by Li Mobai, the game features a cast including Li Siyang, Chu Xu, Pan Mingyun, An Yongchang, Tian Yifan, Chen Guanying, and Ding Mu. Players step into the role of agent "Hu Yang" during the turbulent Republican era of the 1920s. The project was first revealed in August 2021, and after five years of development—including dedicated reshoots in late 2025—the team is finally ready to let players experience their work. The trial version showcases the game's cinematic FMV production, with multiple choices, branching storylines, and investigation-based gameplay. As the first public playable release, it offers a rare glimpse into a high-quality Chinese FMV title with a historical backdrop. For enthusiasts of interactive storytelling, this is an opportunity to explore a polished narrative experience. Moreover, the game's arrival highlights the continued evolution of live-action interactive games, demonstrating how the genre is pushing boundaries in both production value and narrative depth.
