## What is Black Notebook?

Puerto Almagre, 1989. You're the new guy at the station, and they've handed you the notebook of an inspector who died of a "heart attack" nobody looked into. On the last page, one line is crossed out so hard the paper tore. Who is R.?

THE FIRST TWO CASES, IN FULL: play Cases 001 and 002 start to finish without buying anything. One purchase unlocks the rest of the season.

Black Notebook is a detective novel you play by reading. Every case is a file: a night watchman frozen inside a dockside warehouse, a church bell that vanishes during Holy Week, a house by the tracks where an old woman hears footsteps under the floor, a photographer who never comes home from a party, death notices in the paper for people who are still alive.

HOW YOU PLAY
• Work the port and choose who to see. Every trip costs hours, and the day runs out. 
• Question people and take notes. What matters goes in your notebook. 
• Confront: put a piece of evidence in front of whoever lied to you. If it contradicts them, they talk. 
• Build the case on the board and decide who to charge. The prosecutor weighs what you bring. 
• Every case has several endings. Some close the right way. Some close the way somebody needs them to.

WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT 
• Written like a crime novel, not a hidden-object game. 
• You never lose: when time runs out, you charge someone with what you've got, and the port makes you pay the difference. • Instant photos, telegrams, shipping slips and tabloid front pages that read like 1989. 
• One story runs underneath every case: who is R.? • A card file, with ID photos, of everyone who keeps turning up from one case to the next, and what you learned about them each time.

SEASON 1 Cases 003, 004 and 005 and Case R, the true ending, unlock with a single in-app purchase: Season 1. No subscriptions.

ALSO 
• In English and Spanish. 
• Night and day paper, and adjustable text size. 
• No ads, no accounts, no tracking. Your saves stay on your phone.
