## Description
_Real Detectives: Murder in Miami_ is a hidden object game with adventure
elements clearly inspired by popular TV series about crime and forensic
experts. The game is played from the point-of-view of a team of police
investigators trying to solve several murders in Miami, sometimes with cases
overlapping each other. Instead of searching for all the items from a list,
the objective is to photograph and collect evidence on several crime scenes
and related locations. The interface at the bottom has three tabs to store
evidence items, tools and suspects profiles.
Each new evidence found on the scenery receives a marker, with some being
stored to be used later when interrogating suspects. Evidence with green
markers have to be collected using one of the forensic tools, that can be
dragged and dropped from their tab slots to a specific portion of the screen
to perform several common procedures, like using a thermometer to measure
temperature, dipping a cotton swab to collect blood and other liquids for
analysis, dusting surfaces with a brush to reveal fingerprints, and other
actions. The interrogation interface is very straightforward, where the pieces
of evidence have to be dropped on a slot to elicit comments by the suspect.
A zoom window showing another angle of the scene appears after clicking on
certain hotspots, sometimes containing mini-games where the player has to find
several items listed on the notepad at the bottom-left corner, click on
matching pairs of cereal, light all the button from an elevator panel,
reassemble shredded notes or picture puzzles, and complete other similar
tasks. The hint button shows the position of one of the required items, but
takes some time to recharge after use.
