Deduce which of your fellow travelers is secretly Moriarity’s puppet
Crimesight takes place in 2027, when violent crime has nearly been eradicated thanks to an AI that predicts them before they happen. When the AI predicts a series of crimes that can’t be prevented, its engineers make a better AI called Sherlock to out-deduce baddie AI Moriarity who’s at the center of it all. You’re not quite playing as Sherlock or Moriarity, mind. You’re one of these simulated unlucky travelers all snowed in together in a cottage. The new trailer here shows some of the PvP action.

Konami refer to Crimesight as “tabletop strategy” up there in the trailer. Given that it’s turn-based, Crimesight seems closer to something like Clue thanAmong Us, in case you’ve been playing other social deduction romps lately.
Rather than attempting a total murder spree, the player selected as the villain has one particular target they’re meant to kill, while all the other players are attempting to prevent it without knowing who either the victim or the villain are. In order to win, the villain needs to have a weapon in their posession and be alone in the same room and area as the selected victim. The Sherlock side players need to keep the target alive for four game days while they wait for help to arrive, attempting to unmask the unknown killer all the while.
Konami haven’t revealed a release date for Crimesight yet, but you can keep an eye on it overon Steam.
