About the Game

THE CASES WENT COLD, BUT THE TRUTH REMAINS.

Cases that have remained unsolved for years, stamped as "unsolved" on dusty shelves, are now on your desk. Cold Decree doesn’t ask you to play a cop—it forces you to work like a technical expert in a forensic lab. Here, it’s not guns that speak, but reports, technical logs, and databases.

GAME FEATURES:

  • Comprehensive Case Files: Every case is a massive pile of documentation: crime scene reports, suspect statements, autopsy results, and toxicology analyses. Your first task is to catch the contradictions and identify technical gaps within the reports.

  • Technical Analysis & Data Stream: Place evidentiary objects into lab analysis devices. Scrutinize the technical texts and detailed information provided by the machinery. Note the specific data and technical details within these logs to place them at the heart of your investigation.

  • Manual Database Querying: Manually query the technical data, numbers, and codes obtained from the analysis devices within the massive system databases. Stay sharp to find the exact match among thousands of records. Numbers don't lie, but matching them correctly is entirely your responsibility.

  • Analytical Reasoning & Comparison: Blend the technical information gathered from the devices with the suspect statements and autopsy reports in the file. Rely only on concrete, technical data while building your theory.

  • Final Decision Mechanism: Stop guessing. Once all analyses are complete, identify the true perpetrator based on your unshakable technical evidence and close the case for good.
