Reliqua is a murder mystery-style video game that explores the site of an autonomous car crash and tasks the player with deciphering what happened the night of the accident. This is facilitated through a non-linear playstyle that encourages the player to search for clues, speak to witnesses, and slowly figure out the mystery alongside the player character. This paper describes the process of creating Reliqua, from its initial inception, to the inspiration it draws from similar video games, to the rationale behind its design, to the playtesting and evaluation of the game and whether it accomplished its goals.
