Caseboard vs SHADOW PROTOCOL

Blackwood Hall's master is dead in a study locked from the inside. The county coroner calls it heart failure. You know better. CASEBOARD is a 1940s detective game in three acts. Search painted crime scenes for evidence, interrogate suspects who remember every kindness and every threat, and pin what you find to the red-string board — then gather everyone in the parlor and say a name. YOUR HOURS ARE YOUR AMMUNITION Every question, every search, every confrontation costs one hour of the clock. Dawn comes whether you're ready or not. Spend your time like evidence. THEY REMEMBER HOW YOU TREAT THEM Protect a frightened nurse and she'll hand you the murder weapon. Threaten her and she closes ranks — whatever she hid stays hidden. Take a bribe and the whole house hears about it. Every decision shapes what the investigation will give up. CONFRONT THE KILLER — WHEN YOU'RE READY Face them too early and evidence burns. Wait until you hold the crucial pieces and you'll get the slip that closes the case flawlessly. • Case 1, The Blackwood Inheritance — free • Cases 2 & 3 — Whiteout at Lantern Rock and The Vanishing Act — unlock with the one-time Season of Mysteries purchase • Optional credit packs buy investigative tools, but every case can be solved without spending a single credit • Fully offline, no account, no ads • Painted scenes, hand-drawn portraits, and an original noir score you can switch off • Multiple endings per case: flawless, unproven, wrong arrest, or out of time
