Detective DeDe

Detective DeDe is a 2D point-and-click adventure set in an alternate 1800s Australia, designed for older adults and beginners who want a slower, more thoughtful mystery to solve. I led the brand, illustration, and visual world-building for the title, shaping the look of DeDe Anansi and the game's setting while coordinating the cross-functional team delivering it.
