04 / A FEW THINGS TO CLEAR UP
Good questions.
No red herrings.
Is this a PDF, a game, or a murder mystery party?+
The free mini-case is a browser-based detective game. You read evidence, unlock a lead, and submit a conclusion. The planned full case will use the same style, with an optional printable companion. It is not a role-play dinner party: everyone investigates, and nobody has to act or know the solution in advance.
Can I really play by myself?+
Yes. Every clue in the free sample is available to a solo player. Playing with others adds discussion, not missing information. In couple or group mode, suggested investigator roles help you share the reading on one screen.
Do we all need to be in the same room?+
For this version, share one device in person, or have one person share their screen on a video call you already use. There are no synchronized private multiplayer rooms in this release. A launch-list signup is not a promise of that feature.
Will characters text my actual phone?+
No. Messages appear inside the game. We do not ask for a phone number or send SMS. Progress unlocks the next clue, so pausing your evening won't leave you behind.
What happens if we get stuck?+
The mini-case has progressive, optional hints. Try a small nudge first, then ask for a more direct clue. There is no countdown or penalty for thinking. You can reread the available exhibits before submitting an answer.
Can I buy the full case right now?+
The purchase button shows whether sales are open. The complete case is built and in private pilot. When checkout is enabled, payment provides a private browser-play link by email. Nothing ships. Already have a case? Open your desk.
Is it scary? Can we replay it?+
The sample is a non-graphic mystery about a false alibi. No jump scares. The planned full case contains fictional crime and suspense for ages 14 and up. These are fixed-solution investigations: you can revisit them, but you will know the answer after solving them.
