Step into the shoes of a lead detective and take on the most complex murder mysteries and cold cases. The Final Node offers an immersive, realistic investigative experience where every detail matters. Investigate Crime Scenes Your logic is your greatest weapon. Examine crime scenes meticulously to uncover hidden evidence. Read through autopsy reports, suspect profiles, and forensic documents. Every clue you find brings you one step closer to the truth, but beware of false leads. Interrogate Suspects Suspects will lie, hide their motives, and protect their secrets. Interrogate them using the evidence you have collected. Press them on inconsistencies in their statements and break their alibis. Your questioning technique determines whether they confess or walk free. Master the Logic Tree Connect the dots. Utilize a dynamic investigation tree to track your progress and piece together the case. Unlocking a single node might lead you to a new suspect, reveal a hidden location, or uncover a shocking motive. You must accurately reconstruct the timeline of events to solve the crime. Realistic Cases Solve detailed cases with deep backgrounds, inspired by real-life mysteries. Do you have the intellect and composure to catch the killer? The truth is hidden within the nodes.

About

Clue Phone

Features
Read full description

Clue Phone is a fully original, self-contained detective game built around an interactive simulated phone operating system. It is not a chatbot wrapper, messaging template, social network, or hidden-object reskin. Every case gives you a different fictional phone. Search messages, photos, payments, calls, mail, maps, files, device logs, health records, calendars, browser history, and more. The records do not simply decorate the story: they form the evidence you must connect. WHAT MAKES CLUE PHONE DISTINCT โ€ข A complete interactive phone OS designed specifically for deduction โ€ข 10 original, complete cases with different owners, motives, evidence chains, and endings โ€ข 50 investigative questions and 97 collectible evidence records โ€ข Questions can be answered in any order from the case board โ€ข Final verdicts require both a conclusion and the two records that prove it โ€ข Live calls and messages react to actions taken during the investigation โ€ข Lock-screen notifications, deleted-file recovery, extension calls, locked notes, and device logs โ€ข English and Korean content with shared progress and instant in-app language switching โ€ข A daily two-minute deduction with a streak and optional hint-token reward FAIR HINTS Every case is playable without purchase. The first hint points to an app, the second identifies a record, and the final hint shows an accepted answer. Optional hint tokens can be earned through the daily clue or a rewarded ad, or purchased as consumable packs. Ads never interrupt active investigation; an interstitial may appear only after every second completed case. All people, messages, transactions, locations, phone records, and incidents in Clue Phone are fictional. The app does not read your real contacts, messages, photos, calls, location, camera, microphone, or files.
