Read full description

The suspect is right here. Ask anything — in your own words. Case AI is the first detective mystery game with real AI interrogation: no scripts, no dialogue trees, just your questions and their answers. INTERROGATE WITH REAL AI No more pre-written dialogue options. Type your own questions — where they were, who they're protecting, what they're hiding. The AI responds in character, adapting to the evidence you've uncovered and the pressure you apply. Every interrogation is unique. Every answer either brings you closer to the truth — or deeper into deception. INVESTIGATE CRIME SCENES Explore meticulously crafted crime scenes across Istanbul — from luxurious mansions in Beykoz to ancient excavation sites in Şanlıurfa, from the glittering nightclubs of Beyoğlu to the cold corridors of Maslak's corporate towers, and the sterile tech facilities of the near future. Collect physical and digital evidence, reconstruct timelines, and piece together what truly happened. SOLVE 5 UNIQUE CASES - The Last Night at the Mansion — A wealthy businessman found dead after his own birthday party - Murder at the Ancient Burial Site — An archaeologist killed at a 9,000-year-old excavation - End of the Velvet Night — A star dancer's final performance at Istanbul's most coveted nightclub - The Dark Stairs of the Plaza — A night guard's death concealing deeply buried corporate secrets - Off the Record — AI Interrogation — A suspicious death at SmartMed. Nothing is what it seems. BUILD YOUR DETECTIVE Customize your investigator with four core stats — Observation, Questioning, Logic, and Empathy. Your strengths shape how you approach each case. Two detectives, one crime scene: different paths, different outcomes. FEATURES - Real AI interrogation — no scripts, no options, just your own words - 5 original murder cases across Istanbul's hidden worlds - Evidence board: collect clues, reconstruct crime timelines - Build your detective: Observation, Logic, Questioning, Empathy - Narrative epilogues shaped by your choices and performance - Expert team: unlock hidden suspect dialogue through strategy In a city of shadows, the truth is the only thing that shines.

Every morning, a new case file lands on your desk in Caldmere — a fog-draped coastal New England town where everyone has something to hide. Theft, fraud, assault, arson, a body in the harbor. The crime changes. The pressure doesn't. Daily Sleuth is a two-minute daily ritual for true crime fans and puzzle lovers who want something sharper than a word game and moodier than a crossword. HOW IT WORKS Read today's case file — a short narrative with suspects, evidence, and a scene. Then make your accusation: Who did it. What they did. Where the evidence is hiding. Three questions, three suspects, one truth. Read closely — the file tells you everything you need, if you're paying attention. CLUES, IF YOU NEED THEM Stuck? Pull a clue. You have up to five — but every clue you use chips away at your score. The best detectives close the case clean. A NEW CASE EVERY DAY One case, every day, set in Caldmere. The difficulty climbs through the week — Monday is a gentle warm-up, Saturday is a proper noir gut-punch. Come back tomorrow for a fresh file. BUILD YOUR STREAK Solve the daily case and build your streak. The habit is the hook — miss a day and you start over. THE CALDMERE UNIVERSE Every case is set in Caldmere, a small town with a long memory. Recurring suspects, tangled histories, secrets that connect across cases. The more you play, the more you notice. Daily Sleuth is part of the Penumbra universe of mystery games. DESIGNED THE RIGHT WAY - One case a day — no endless scroll, no energy timers - No ads in the daily experience - Dark and light mode - A real mystery, written to be solved Read the file. Name the culprit. Close the case. Can you solve today's case? Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
