❤ Intuitive Evidence Gathering and Annotation

Players can freely arrange clues and evidence - documents, reports, and other sources - however they see fit on the conspiracy board, whether in neat rows or scattered piles. The ability to directly write notes and observations on the evidence pieces themselves allows players to seamlessly keep track of their deductions and theories.

❤ Deductive Reasoning and the Thread of Logic

At the heart of the gameplay is the challenge of deductive reasoning. Players must carefully examine the collected evidence, make connections between disparate clues, and formulate theories about the identities and powers of their adversaries. The "Thread of Logic" system requires players to link specific pieces of evidence together to demonstrate their deductions, encouraging a methodical, analytical approach to problem-solving.

❤ Nonlinear, Player-Driven Investigation

Rather than guiding players down a pre-determined narrative path, the game presents them with a web of interrelated clues and mysteries, allowing them to pursue their own lines of inquiry and uncover information at their own pace. This nonlinear structure rewards careful observation, lateral thinking, and a willingness to re-examine evidence in new ways as the case gradually unfolds.

❤ Thoughtful Pacing and Narrative Integration

The game deliberately reveals new information and evidence over the course of the seven-day timeline, heightening the sense of mystery and ensuring that players' deductions and "Eureka!" moments feel earned and impactful. Furthermore, the seamless integration of narrative and worldbuilding elements with the core investigative gameplay creates a cohesive and immersive experience.
