소개
Step into the shoes of a detective in 1970s Hollywood, where a series of gruesome murders shocks the film industry. Unlike traditional hidden object games, this is a true test of deduction where you must scour crime scenes for keywords, fill in 'Mad Libs' style hypothesis grids, and unravel a complex conspiracy involving actors, writers, and producers.
스토리
The narrative plunges players into the gritty underbelly of late-70s Hollywood, peeling back the glamour to reveal a world of double-dealing, betrayal, and cold-blooded murder. As you investigate the deaths of Tinseltown's elite, disparate cases begin to link together, hinting at a mysterious cult or shadow organization pulling the strings behind the scenes.
Gameplay
Core gameplay revolves around pure logic and deduction rather than pixel hunting. Players explore 2D static scenes to gather textual clues, identify inconsistencies in suspect testimonies, and physically link evidence on a string board. The central mechanic involves completing sentence grids with collected keywords to formulate hypotheses about the killer, weapon, and motive.
