Become the investigator. Build the case. Paper Trails is a narrative detective game where you solve crimes inside a believable desktop environment. Your job is simple: open the files, follow the trail, and prove what happened — before the story outruns you. You’ll sift through emails, chat logs, reports, photos, receipts, timelines, and hidden metadata , then connect evidence into a clear accusation. Every case is built to feel grounded: messy, human, and full of contradictions. Investigate like a real detective Search and cross-reference documents across a simulated desktop Spot inconsistencies, missing pieces, and deliberate misdirection Build a timeline, link suspects to motives, and verify alibis Use deduction to move from “interesting clue” to solid proof Talk to a sharp AI persona (live, in-game) Need a second brain? Interrogate a responsive AI-driven persona during gameplay. Ask for interpretations, challenge assumptions, request summaries, or push for alternative theories — then decide what to trust. Procedural cases, curated outcomes Cases are generated to create fresh investigations , but the experience stays curated: the goal is not randomness — it’s replayable mystery that still feels authored. What to expect Crime & investigation themes (no graphic violence, no sexual content) A focused, story-driven singleplayer experience A case-based loop built for stream-friendly moments: reveals, twists, and “wait… what?” evidence Open the folder. Follow the paper trail. Solve the case.
