In this game you will take on the role of an investigator driven by the pursuit of truth and your relentless quest to uncover it. you will uncover and document the truth about shady dealings, crimes, and hidden conspiracies, through note taking, photography, and exploration. 

Play revolves around a coin pull mechanic* (or an alternative d4 method) and exploration. 


Needed to play:

  • Note taking tools
  • Minimum 4 coins of different denominations(or a 4 sided dice)
  • Camera



The handbook and the casefile come as a zine. if you're unsure how to fold a one page zine, the instructions can be found below

Quick Disclaimers:

  • Don't take pictures of people without consent

THANKS/CREDIT 

* Thanks and full credit to the coin pull mechanic in this game goes to maxwellander. some of the text within the handbook describing the method is directly lifted from their game "Frame 352", of which this is a direct adaptation of. Due to this circumstance this game free, however if you enjoyed this game, then I highly recommend visiting their page and purchasing something from them.
