❤ Engaging Investigation Mechanics

Players must carefully observe environments, collect clues, and analyze witness testimonies to construct coherent narratives of what happened in each crime scene. The game's unique "fill-in-the-blank" mechanics require players to input specific words and phrases, actively engaging them in the detective work.

❤ Nonlinear Narrative Structure

Instead of a linear series of cases, the game bundles multiple scenarios into chapters. At the end of each chapter, players must synthesize information from the individual cases to uncover the overarching mystery. This approach encourages players to constantly reassess their understanding, creating a dynamic and compelling storytelling experience.

❤ Flexible UI and Tools

The user interface allows players to freely move and arrange informational windows on the screen, enabling a personalized and efficient workflow. The inclusion of a comprehensive word database streamlines the process of inputting correct responses, reducing frustration and keeping the focus on deductive reasoning.

❤ Varied Puzzle Design

The game introduces a variety of puzzle types and complexity levels, from straightforward "fill-in-the-blank" scenarios to intricate chapter-level narratives that require piecing together multiple interconnected clues. This diversity appeals to players with different cognitive preferences.

❤ Satisfying Deduction and Revelation

As players progress, the gradual revelation of information and the "aha" moments of realizing connections between clues can be deeply rewarding. The game's ability to consistently subvert player expectations and introduce unexpected twists further enhances this sense of accomplishment, making the investigative process engaging and compelling.
