INTERROGATION TRANSCRIPT
Ask naturally. The suspect will remember what has already been said.
Calm
Pressure
Bluff
Silence
Your cases and investigation progress are saved to your account and can follow you across devices.
Interrogate suspects in your own words, inspect evidence, test alibis and build the case yourself. Each investigation uses the same CASE//FILE system, but the people, evidence and solution change.
Choose a source, examine what is there and decide which findings deserve a place on your case board.
Organise evidence by suspect, select two cards when you think they conflict, and build the theory you will ultimately have to defend.
The game will only confirm a contradiction after you identify the two facts yourself.
Use this summary only as a progress check. The solution is never revealed here while the investigation remains open.
Your charging decision is supported. The investigation is now recorded as complete.
Continue another investigation or unlock a new case.
A few answers here will help shape the next case. Please answer based on the game you just played.
Choose the person you believe can be charged and explain why. Naming the right person is not enough.
You are not following a dialogue tree. You are building an investigation. Talk to suspects, test what they tell you against evidence, connect inconsistencies, and only charge someone when you think the case actually holds together.
Establish each suspect’s story and return to them when new evidence changes what you can prove.
Examine phones, CCTV, access records, financial documents and the crime scene.
Use the case board to compare statements and evidence. Lies can matter without proving murder.
Build a theory that connects motive, opportunity, changing accounts and physical evidence.
Type questions naturally. Suspects remember the conversation and may deny, evade, partially admit or change their account when you challenge them with stronger evidence.
Ask where they were, who they saw, what happened before and after key times, and why they were at the hotel.
A precise claim such as “I left before eleven” becomes useful when later evidence places that person somewhere else.
Select evidence on the Case Board, return to the suspect, then use Confront with selected evidence.
Neutral questioning. Useful when establishing the initial story.
More forceful questioning. Helpful once you have a reason to challenge someone.
Suggest you know more than you are revealing. It can provoke a reaction, but it is not proof.
Say nothing and see how the suspect responds to the pressure.
The Investigate screen contains evidence sources. Some material is available immediately; other items only become meaningful after you establish the right line of enquiry in an interview.
Messages, calls, notes and deleted material can expose meetings, motives and unexplained activity.
Review CCTV, access events and system audits. Use cross-checks to test alibis and movement.
Examine scene hotspots. Physical findings may become important only after another clue gives them context.
Follow transfers, payment trails and document metadata to establish motive or separate it from opportunity.
Evidence and meaningful suspect statements appear as cards. The game deliberately does not automatically tell you what every card means.
Drag cards into the suspect columns that you think they relate to.
Select two cards if you believe they conflict or expose a changed account.
If the connection is valid, it becomes part of the investigation. If not, keep looking.
The dossier summarises what your investigation currently knows about the active suspect. It is not a walkthrough and should not contain facts you have not earned.
Public background and information already established in the case.
Confirmed or recorded events linked to that suspect.
Discoveries currently connected to the suspect.
Inconsistencies you have successfully identified.
When you are ready, choose a suspect and explain your theory. A strong case should connect the major elements rather than simply name the right person.
Why would this person need or want the central event to happen?
Can you place them where they needed to be at the right time?
What did they lie about, omit or alter after being challenged?
What evidence connects them directly to the fatal attack?
Ask the same event from a different angle or compare it against a newly discovered time, location or witness.
If someone appears on CCTV, ask what happened immediately before and after. Timings often matter more than the image itself.
One suspect may hold evidence about another person even if they are not the killer.
The current objective at the top of the case indicates the broad stage of the investigation without telling you the solution.
