Monstrous Detectives // Detektei Monster. An investigation story game by Carina Bueker. Crowdfunding on Kickstarter. Back it now! February 3 to March 5, 2026. Three monsters in a private detective agency. One is sitting behind a desk, drinking coffee. It's very big with teal fur, three eyes, and small horns. It's wearing a fedora and a trenchcoat over a shirt and tie. Another one is standing in front of the desk, holding up a sheet of paper. It's smaller, with mustard feathers, a teal beak, and three eyes. It's wearing a dark purple coat with a shawl collar and a purple beret. A third one is sitting on top of a file cabinet in the background, examining a small piece of paper with a magnifying glass. It's very small, with white fur with purple spots, big striped horns, and a tail that ends in a tuft. It's wearing a teal shirt with a black tie and a mustard pair of pants. On the floor are an old-fashioned dial-plate telephone and a flower pot with a withered plant.

no more AI "art." i want art made by people because i want to know how people think, feel, live. how a day on this earth is for someone else. a night. and why the heart, though so heavy, still wants to dance. i want art that looks into this mystery. art that connects me to another person who wonders

Naming things in games can really slow things down.

We needed to come up with a lot of names during our playtest of This Means War, so we tried a different approach to take the pressure off.

A rabbit in overalls and a goat in pants are sitting on the ground drawing pictures. The rabbit is saying “ART POSES A THREAT TO CORPORATOLRATIC SYSTEMS BECAUSE A PURPOSE OF ART IS TO REMIND THE INDIVIDUAL OF THEIR INHERENT AUTONOMY.”, the goat adds “THEIR HUMANITY.”
