The case / Opening night
A room full of answers.
The wrong first impression.
Exhibition archivist Leo Venn is found dead at Meridian House. A printed card seems to point straight at one suspect. Detective Nia Vale asks you, a records analyst, to take a closer look.
Some apparent clues are exhibition props. Others lead back to a suppressed record. Before you can name the killer, you need to establish what the evidence actually proves.
Every minute matters.
Correct clocks, recover schedules, follow routes, and check whether an alibi covers the time that counts.
Earn the accusation.
Carry your findings through eight chapters. The final puzzles bring earlier evidence together into a supported conclusion.
Actual interior pages / No ending spoilers
