A man asks for a glass of water. The barman pulls a gun on him. The man says thank you and walks out. Why? Welcome to MINIMAL CRIMES: short noir dark stories, lateral thinking riddles and murder mysteries that sound impossible until you look at them from the side. Read the case, study the evidence, pick the words that crack it open. Most cases take about two minutes. Some will take you a night. HOW IT PLAYS • Read a short case file, then finish the theory: a sentence with gaps that you fill with the right words. • Stuck? Ask for a hint in three steps, from a whisper to a full push. Each one costs you something, so think first. • Get it right on the first try for a bonus. Every closed case earns coins, 1 to 3 stars and moves you up the ranks, from Rookie to Mastermind. • Stuck for a while? A free hint opens by itself. • Some cases are interrogations: question a suspect and catch the lie. WHAT'S INSIDE • 220 handcrafted cases in 22 chapters. Chapter 1 is free to play, start to finish. • A daily case and a daily streak. A home-screen widget shows your streak and today's case. • Replay any case in Standard, No-Hints or Speed Run mode for bigger rewards. • Challenge a friend: send a case without the solution and see if they can crack it. Share your result, stars included, with no spoilers. • Neon and Sepia themes, unlocked with the coins you earn. • Noir all the way down: typewriter typography, an icon for every case, scanlines, a low-lit soundtrack, haptics. • Dynamic Type, VoiceOver and Reduce Motion are supported. • Available in English, Italian and Spanish. NO ADS. NO TIMERS ON EASY CASES. NO INTERNET NEEDED. Everything runs on your device, on a train, on a plane, in the dark. PREMIUM (ONE-TIME PURCHASE) Chapter 1 is free. Premium is a single purchase, not a subscription, that unlocks Chapter 2 onwards and the Cold Case Vault: the harder files. Pay once, keep it. Restore it any time on your other devices.
