Text the suspects. Watch them deflect. Chapter 1 is free. You're an SFPD homicide detective on vacation in Hawaii when Chief Tanaka calls. The mayor's son is missing from a Pac Heights hacker mansion, and the housemates' stories don't line up. You're not flying back. You're solving this from a beach chair. You investigate from Aloha's phone — and your vacation keeps getting interrupted as the case widens. › Interrogate by Text Open a thread, ask your questions, watch a suspect deflect. Ask as much as you want. When the story stops adding up, make your accusation. Read the room, and accuse when you're sure. › Build the Case File Evidence collects in the Case File app, sorted by who slipped what. The People tab tracks everyone you've met. Work the whole house, then call Tanaka back and present your theory. › House drama, or a bigger conspiracy? A pre-revenue CEO who answers every question with a pitch deck. A wellness guru who deflects. A streamer narrating his own life. Plus the rest of the house — and a few of them know more than they're letting on. Chapter 1 is free. One unlock opens Chapter 2 and every chapter still to come. New chapters are in development.
