A village full of secrets. Read the clues, connect the evidence and uncover the wolves in 150 single-player logic puzzles. READ. DEDUCE. REVEAL. Every testimony is a piece of the puzzle. Read the statements, choose an identity and tap a character to make your judgment. Revealing a witness brings new clues into play. Combine rows, columns, neighbors, jobs and appearance to work out who is hiding in plain sight. 150 CASES TO SOLVE Follow 15 chapters from your first small board to challenges with 25 characters. Hunt hidden wolves, investigate incidents and uncover secrets. Each board gives you a new trail of evidence to follow at your own pace. HELP WHEN YOU NEED IT Learn through short tutorials and build confidence as you play. Cases 4–7 offer step-by-step reasoning help and an extra chance after a mistake. Unlock Seer and Reveal abilities as you progress. Start and retry campaign cases freely, without an energy meter. LOOK CLOSER Tap testimony to highlight the people it describes. Follow a linked name to locate that character, or zoom and drag to read a larger board. Your progress is saved on your device, so you can return to an unfinished case. MORE WAYS TO INVESTIGATE Unlock story investigation and daily brain training as you progress. After campaign case 20, take on a new Daily Case at local midnight and share your result. Daily Cases can be retried freely. PLAY YOUR WAY Play in English or Simplified Chinese, with adjustable music, sound effects and a reduced-motion option. Core puzzles work offline; an internet connection is needed for ads. ADS AND OPTIONAL HELP A banner ad may appear at the bottom of the screen. Optional rewarded videos can provide ability uses, a revival or extra completion coins. Some rewards are also available using earned in-game coins. Occasional interstitial ads may appear between campaign cases after the introductory levels, subject to play-time and frequency limits. There are no real-money purchases.
