Our take on A Case of Fraud
The defining structure is that the complete evidence set is placed in the player’s hands at the outset, making interpretation and cross-referencing the central investigation mechanic.
What is A Case of Fraud?
This brief, branching mystery follows the disappearance of Zoolingo’s CEO after the startup secures substantial investor backing.
With only a small collection of surviving records, players study the material, link details, identify relatives and staff, and develop explanations involving motive and opportunity. Advancement depends on interpreting evidence and building deductions rather than locating concealed items. The investigation also covers the employees’ pets. Visuals were created by hand with Procreate on a sixth-generation iPad, using a first-generation Apple Pencil.
