About the Game

Chapter 1: Honey Trap

Summary:

Someone reported being blackmailed for 20,000 yuan. After investigation, it was found that the victim had fallen into a trap known as a "honey trap". However, the victim claimed that the matter was "not that simple". What shocking truth lies behind this case? A long-hidden serial murder case is thus unveiled. Love at first sight, yet the truth is not always what it seems.

Gameplay:

The core gameplay of this case is inspired by "The Suspect". Players first need to search for clues at the crime scene, then merge the clues in the mind map to deduce the truth. You can use the clue radar to find evidence, and the clue analyzer to assist in reasoning when you encounter uncertain clues.
