Royal Detective: Borrowed Life Collector's Edition

Royal Detective: Borrowed Life Collector's Edition is a new addition to the Royal Detective series from Elephant Games. The very first game from the series was quite impressive for many. This one doesn't seem to be as great, but it is definitely worth your attention. It for sure has an interesting story provoking all kinds of feelings.

While the statues resembled the long gone people, they still remained made of rock and deprived of much feelings or emotions.

You play as a detective hired by a sculptor's wife. Your job is to find the sculptor. Her confident guess is that the living statues that he created are behind it. It is quite ironic that the sculptor created the statues to bring back the loved ones to their families, and he himself disappeared because of them! While his intentions were noble and good, the results didn't quite turn out as he had expected.

While the statues resembled the long gone people, they still remained made of rock and deprived of much feelings or emotions. It was difficult for them and their loved ones to find a way to live as they used to. This caused them to turn on their creator. You are to uncover the truth and find the sculpture. You are going to meet some of the sculptures and hear their stories.
