# A missing-person case. Names disappearing one by one.
Zhao Kai is the first name crossed off in the file.
Then the second, then the third… until the red pins on the map have nowhere left to go.
Nobody at the precinct wants to open that stack of papers again.
But you — a detective the case won't let go of — decide to bring every name back.
## A detective game that actually makes you deduce
We didn't want to make another "click dialogue, watch the credits" mystery.
So we built our game around an **Evidence Board deduction system** — the thing we most want you to put your hands on.
**Clues aren't for you to look at. They're for you to use.**
Every clue you pull from an investigation stays on the board as a card. They never get spent. They never disappear.
**The red string is drawn by your own hand.**
Right-click to start a line. Left-click another card to close it. If the logic holds, the string thickens and brightens — and stays on the board forever.
If the logic doesn't hold, it means your thread isn't quite right yet.
**The conclusion isn't fed to you by an NPC.**
A breakthrough doesn't pop up to tell you the answer.
It lands only at the moment you put the right two cards — or the right chain of cards — together.
That moment isn't a cutscene. That's where you crack the case.
## More than just the board
The investigation doesn't only happen on the board.
Your phone will ring. Colleagues, informants, even suspects send messages at different hours —
a reply, a follow-up question, some clues only surface mid-conversation.
Every location on the map is worth revisiting —
some clues won't appear until you've thought of something new and gone back to look again.
## Style
An Ace Attorney–inspired navy-and-gold palette, paired with heavy black-outlined subtitles, floating red name plates,
and red strings on the evidence board that never fade.
What we set out to make is a game that doesn't let you forget a single name.
