Someone's lying. Someone's missing. Their phone knows the truth. Traced is an immersive true crime investigation game where every case starts the same way: the case file hands you the evidence phone and you dig through it. Read their messages, browse their photo gallery, scroll their social apps, open their notes, calendar and deleted files. Nothing is random. Every contact, every photo, every lie hides a clue. Connect them, answer the investigator's questions and close the case. Each Traced episode is a complete cold case: a disappearance, a murder, a double life. You play the detective from inside the victim's or the suspect's phone, exactly the way a real investigator would. WHAT YOU GET • Realistic phone investigation: a fully fake phone with messages, photos, socials, notes, maps and more to explore • A new episode every week: unsolved cases, murders, missing persons, secret lives • Detective questions: prove your theory, check your progress, unlock the ending • A dark, typewriter-and-polaroid atmosphere made for true crime fans All cases, characters, conversations and photos in Traced are entirely fictional. Any resemblance to real people is coincidental. FREE & PRO The first questions of every episode are free. Traced Pro unlocks all episodes and all questions, with no ads. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Cancel anytime in your App Store settings.
