The Enigma Cases changes
Hello Detectives!
We are continuing our work on the new Cluebook system, which will make your investigations much more professional and organized. With this update, our focus is on the Person of Interest (POI) system, which allows you to track the connections between the most critical elements of any case: the people.
Below are the details of the POI system that will deepen your detective experience:
Person of Interest (POI) System
All individuals you encounter during the case can now be tracked from a single center. The POI section has a dynamic structure that accumulates information step-by-step about who you met, what you know about them, and which evidence is linked to which suspect.
From Silhouettes to Identities: People you haven't met yet initially appear as silhouettes. These cards begin to fill in as a name is mentioned in a file, heard in a voice recording, or when a face is seen.
- Dynamic IdentificationA person may initially be added as "Unknown Male #1." As you deepen your investigation and verify their identity through the PC database or documents, this information is automatically updated.
Automatic Information and Chronological Logs
You no longer have to worry about missing important details. Every new piece of information you learn about characters is automatically recorded on the POI page, without the need for manual note-taking.
- Voice Recordings and DocumentsA name mentioned in a phone recording or a "landlord complaint" in a letter is instantly added as an entry to that person's profile.
PC Database Integration: Queries you perform on the station computer will directly transfer details such as the suspect's occupation, address, or past records to the profile card.
Evidence and Suspect Connection
A detective's greatest weapon is establishing the link between evidence and individuals. In the POI system, an "Associated Evidence" section will be located under each character. For example, you will be able to see at a glance which suspect a knife or a safe record is linked to, and quickly switch between evidence and profiles.
User Experience and Notifications
To ensure your focus remains undisturbed during the investigation, POI updates will be delivered to you via concise notifications. Thanks to the "new" indicator on the cards in your notebook, you will easily notice which character you have obtained a new clue about.
Important Note: This system is still in the development stage. Shared images, indicators, and interface details may be updated and change during the development process to provide the best experience for you.
