『 Connected clues lead to a single truth』

Connected Clue is an isometric mystery adventure game inspired by the atmosphere of 19th-century detective novels.

Investigate crime scenes, gather evidence, and use your reasoning to uncover the hidden truth.

A daring bank robbery shakes the city.

The culprits escape with a fortune in cash and a priceless treasure from the vault.

As rookie detective Diana, you will dive into this case and many other unresolved mysteries.
Can you gather the evidence, expose the lies of suspects, and arrest the true culprit?
The outcome depends entirely on your deduction.
