Unravel the Threads, Expose the Truth
As a test subject, you will experience an incredibly realistic investigative process under the system's strict rules. From a simple takeout receipt or a brief item description, to a full crime scene analysis and interrogation transcripts... every seemingly insignificant fragment could be the critical clue that makes or breaks your case.Immersive Fragmented Deduction System
