A narrative mystery game for phones and tablets
Two investigators. One case file at a time. Every answer you give becomes part of the record.
What the work looks like when you open it on a phone.
Halvorsen presses; Reid listens. You choose who speaks, and the pair read the same witness differently — so the person you pick changes what you are told.
Statements, photographs, a coroner's note in the margin. Evidence lands in the file as you find it, and you can reopen any page before you commit to a conclusion.
A chapter remembers the accusation you made in the last one. Threads you drop stay dropped, and the ending you get is the one your record earned.
Ask the file for a nudge and it points at the thing you have not looked at yet. Hints never solve the case for you and never close off an ending.
Cases arrive one at a time, each self-contained but carrying what you and the pair already know about the city.
What you get to open, and in what order.
A body on the wharf, a witness who changes her story, and a first evening with the pair.
Linked cases released one after another, where a name you let go in one turns up in the next.
For readers who want the file after the verdict: replay a chapter and take the other road.
Case files are released as episodes; availability is confirmed when you get in touch.
Name and email in the form below. Tell us which platform you play on if you want the right build.
A person from the team replies with access details for the opening case and what to expect from it.
Read the statements, question the pair's suspects, make your call. Nothing is timed and nothing is graded.
When a new case is ready, we tell the people already on the file first.
I put the phone down at midnight convinced I had it, then Reid said one line in the last scene and I had to go back through the file.
The hint system is the polite kind. It told me which statement I had skimmed, not who did it.
Reads like a novel on a commute. Two chapters and I already knew which detective I trusted more.
Yes. Who you send into an interview, what you accuse and what you let go are written into the case record, and later chapters are built on that record rather than resetting it.
Ask the file for a hint. It points you at the evidence or the conversation you have not exhausted yet, and it never removes an ending from the table.
Separate cases that share two detectives and one city. Each episode closes, but the pair carry what happened in the last one into the next.
You can reopen a chapter and take the road you did not, and the casebook keeps a transcript of the choices you made the first time through.
Both, and it leans on reading. There is deduction to do, but the pleasure is in the dialogue between Halvorsen and Reid and in noticing the line a witness should not have said.
