Someone's phone. Someone's secrets.
A phone was found. Its owner wasn't. The department puts the recovered phone on your desk, and everything you need to solve the case is already in your hands - their messages, their photos, their voicemails, their lies.
You're the detective. Read everything. Pin what doesn't add up. When two pinned facts can't both be true, you've broken the case open. Then name your suspect, back it with evidence, and get graded on your work -S to F. The grade goes on your record. So does everything else.
THE METHOD
• READ EVERYTHING - messages, photos, notes, mail, and voicemails that speak out loud, each contact with their own voice
• PIN WHAT'S WRONG - anything suspicious goes on your case board, connected with red string
• BREAK THE LIE - two facts that can't both be true make a breakthrough
• ACCUSE - name the killer, prove it, and live with your grade
THE CASES
Open the desk and the folders are waiting:
• MIRA - a travel influencer with 900k followers vanishes between two posts
• HARBOR - a night watchman's phone, fished out of the harbor with 41 messages addressed to you
• ALIAS - a woman with no name, eight aliases, and a phone mailed to the department by no one
• COMET - a 12-year-old stargazer disappears before dawn, and her telescope shouldn't work anymore
Close two cases and the department sends the next two. New phones reach your desk every week.
