Konami To Remove Crimesight From Steam – And Make It Unplayable

Crimesight, a social deduction game released last year, got a surprising update on its steam page last night. Despite being out for less than ten months, Konami is ending support for it — and making the game unplayable.

“Thank you for playing CRIMESIGHT,” the news post reads. “This service has continued to operate with the support of many users since its launch in April 2022, but due to various circumstances, we have decided to terminate the service on Monday, May 01, 2023 at 00:00 PDT.”

Support for an online game is bound to end at some point, but seeing the service cut off so quickly has many fans caught off guard. This is also the end of more than just the online modes. At the end of the post, Konami writes, “Also, the game itself won’t be able to play.” As a result, recent Steam reviews have a score of “Mostly Negative,” as players warn future buyers from purchasing a product that will soon be unplayable.

Crimesight is a multiplayer social deduction game set in a futuristic London. Moriarty’s team seeks to commit a murder, and Sherlock’s team tris to stop that from happening. While it was generally received positively by those that did play it, it didn’t gain much traction. With only a handful of reviews on Metacritic and extremely low stats on SteamDB, a site that tracks concurrent player count, it’s safe to say that one of Konami’s “various circumstances” for canceling it is the size of its playerbase.

If you want to try it out, you’ve got until February to buy it, and until May before it stops working. If you want to try playing a different social deduction game, I’ve heard Among Us is good.
