One Thousand Acts of Decency

One Thousand Acts of Decency Enter a mysterious dome and investigate a murder with oddball allies. Examine evidence, challenge suspect statements, and piece together the truth as cases unfold in One Thousand Acts of Decency.

One Thousand Acts of Decency

One Thousand Acts of Decency is a story-rich mystery puzzle game made up of multiple cases. You play as Chiv, who—together with a group of unusual companions—investigates a murder. Your job is to carefully study the crime scene, locate evidence, and collect witness statements. By analyzing everything you uncover, you’ll work to determine who the real culprit is.

As the investigation unfolds, you’ll challenge suspects and compare their stories. When testimonies don’t match, you’ll use those contradictions to track down the killer and bring them to justice. The game also receives ongoing updates, with new cases and new characters added over time. Meanwhile, the connecting threads between earlier and later cases slowly come into view, making the overall experience richer as the story expands.

Story

Trapped inside a mysterious Dome and forced to solve a murder, Chive O’Higgins teams up with a cast of oddball characters. Together, you examine facts, argue key points, and push the investigation forward—until the killer is identified.

It’s an ordinary December 26th—until Chive is abruptly pulled into a murder case. His mysterious neighbor, Mischief Applegate, is found stabbed to death in the building’s lobby. With no way out, Chive joins forces with:

• Shallot Fogg, his laid-back and energetic cousin
• Herb Petters, a somewhat nosy telemarketer
• RJ Miller, a driven and outspoken savant

With a tense, ticking time limit hanging over the group, the four investigators scour the crime scene for the evidence they need. As the truth starts to surface, it becomes clear that what looked like a straightforward homicide is anything but.

Game Style & Platforms

One Thousand Acts of Decency is a murder-mystery visual novel featuring a broad lineup of quirky, anthropomorphic characters. The cast from the first case is only the beginning—each new investigation introduces additional witnesses and suspects tied to other strange incidents.

When cases are completed, storylines that stretch across multiple cases reach their conclusions as the truth behind the Dome is revealed. The game blends inspiration from Danganronpa and Ace Attorney, especially through debates that take place in the very locations you’re investigating.

The visual novel is available on Windows, Linux, Mac, and Android, and you can play using mouse, keyboard, controller, or touch controls.

Player Comments

• “I finished the whole 1–3 case run and I really enjoyed it. My favorite characters from those cases were Rj, Nargis, and Mateo. I’d mention my top pick from case 2, but it would spoil things.”

  

• “I was checking it out because of Trainwreck, and I’m glad I found it. I especially love the puzzle elements.”

• “I can’t move forward in case 2 after unlocking the sorting area. I already checked the crane, the blood puddle, and the conveyor belt—plus I spoke to Oscar about everything (evidence and profiles). The area keeps showing an exclamation mark. Am I missing something?”

• “Perfect game in my opinion—great writing, cool art, and the puzzles are really engaging.”

• “As someone who enjoys Danganronpa and Ace Attorney (and also happens to like furry characters), this game really hits the spot. I couldn’t stop playing the day I downloaded it.”

• “This is one of the best games I’ve played on Itch. I love the character development and their interactions, and the cases are well thought out. I did notice a few small details I think were missed, but overall it was fantastic.”
