About this game
Homicide Squad: New York Cases is a hidden object adventure game where players solve crimes by finding clues in detailed scenes. The game offers a light narrative and short, interruptible gameplay sessions. Progression is tied to energy timers, and some players feel that in-app purchases can accelerate this.
