Asterlock Archives turns detective work into a compact terminal investigation. Search archived files, collect keywords, decode encrypted evidence, and close each case using only the clues you can prove. The starter archive includes a tutorial case and a larger mystery inspired by early public-domain detective fiction. Optional purchases add more archive cases and cosmetic extras. No account is required. No online profile. Just the files, the facts, and your own brain. Use the terminal directly or tap the active dossier to inspect evidence, open locks, and track your next lead.
