You play as rookie detective Matt Simmons as he tries to piece together the strange events of a double murder involving a former police detective and his wife. The gameplay consists of exploring crime scenes, collecting evidence and questioning witnesses. What sets crime scene apart from other games in the crime adventure game genre, such as Phoenix Wright, is its realistic portrayal of crime scenes, more serious tone and its mature subject matter."

Sounds interesting, right? I thought so too until I actually tried it. This is one of those games that sounds good on paper but just was not executed right to make for an entertaining experience."
The game begins with Matt Simmons' first day on the job of the police forensics team. You'll have to help him prove his worth to superiors while learning the ins and outs of being a crime scene investigator. Primarily, the game involves discovering, collecting and analysing evidence.

Like his Capcom-published counterpart Phoenix Wright, Simmons is responsible for solving crimes by combing over crime scenes and talking to witnesses. Crime Scene's focus lies in evidence procurement and analysis, requiring you to look over scenes and find bullet fragments, take blood samples, and lift fingerprints among other tasks while solving the case."
