Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin your investigation, ensure you have a device capable of accessing a web browser to enter the investigation portal. No special software is required, but a stable internet connection is essential for the digital portion of the case file. Keep the physical documents in their provided folders after the game is complete to ensure they remain organized. Avoid spilling liquids on the case files, as the paper evidence is integral to the mystery and cannot be replaced if damaged.
