Seven stages. None of them are timed — you can pause a case and pick it up later; the session state is kept on the server.
Every case has a category and a difficulty. The harder it gets, the more evidence, the more contradictions, and the subtler the false leads.
The game opens on the crime-scene report and an intro narration — visuals and voice-over together. Two work surfaces remain in front of you: the board and the digital tablet.
Autopsy report, fingerprint card, witness statement, police record, scene photographs. Documents are printed in the format of the country the case is set in.
Call logs, chat threads, bank statements, CCTV, emails, GPS history, flight records, hotel key logs, car rentals.
Some evidence is open from the start. Some arrives after time passes, some once you have collected other pieces, some only after you solve the minigame inside it. The investigation gains its own rhythm.
You question witnesses and suspects, and catch the contradictions between statements using evidence. Every story carries deliberate red herrings and one key thread — build the right chain and it leads to the killer.
You close the file by naming the killer, the weapon or method, and the motive. Get it right and the case is solved with a walkthrough of the solution; a wrong accusation has consequences.
Each comes with its own interface. Rewards — unlocked leads, XP, evidence-slot updates — are verified server-side.
