As the newly appointed police detective in Micropolis, you're tasked with solving 12 murders that have shaken the city to its core. Your investigation will take you through various locations, where you'll interview witnesses, gather evidence, and analyze lab reports to uncover the clues needed to crack each case.
Each action you take, whether it's traveling between locations or taking a specific course of action, adds precious time to the game clock, making every second count. You can play alone or challenge your friends to a game of wits, competing to see who can solve the mystery first and in the shortest amount of time.
The gameplay revolves around presenting your solution to the case, with each player taking turns choosing an option, receiving a clue number, and then consulting the manual to verify their answer. If you think you've solved the case correctly, present your solution and see if it matches the complete solution. Get it right, and you win - but get it wrong, and you're out of the game.
