What you’ll experience during the game

맨체스터의 심장부에서 펼쳐지는 긴장감 넘치는 탐정 이야기 속으로 들어서면, 도시 자체가 미스터리의 일부가 됩니다. 거리 곳곳을 누비면서, 당신은 단서 하나하나가 당신을 더 깊이 끌어들이는 다층적인 수사를 발견하게 됩니다. 스토리는 조각조각 전개되며, Liberty Festival을 충격에 빠뜨린 살인 사건의 진실을 찾는 고위험 수사 속에서 디지털 용의자를 심문하고, 알리바이를 분석하며, 모순에 맞서게 합니다. 풀어내는 각 퍼즐과 밝혀내는 반전은 당신의 관찰력, 비판적 사고, 추리 능력을 시험합니다. 이 경험은 완전히 스토리 기반이며, 당신의 결정이 수사를 좌우하는 전개되는 범죄 사건의 중심에 당신을 놓습니다. 당신은 원하는 시간에 일시 중지하고 다시 시작할 수 있으며, 완전히 당신의 페이스대로 플레이합니다. 다른 팀들과 경쟁하여 먼저 사건을 해결할 수도 있지만, 모든 발견은 당신의 것입니다.

The story of 상품

During the annual Liberty Festival, the celebration takes a dark turn when a high-ranking official named Balthazar is found dead with a knife in his back. With four suspects in custody and a case full of conflicting alibis and hidden motives, the police turn to the world’s most famous detective for help: Sherlock Holmes. As part of Sherlock’s trusted team, you are tasked with investigating the crime, examining the suspects’ statements and uncovering the truth behind the murder.

Your mission is to piece together clues, analyze evidence and uncover inconsistencies as the story unfolds around you. Each suspect, Maggie, Dean, Jonathan and Charlotte, has something to hide, and only by carefully evaluating their alibis and motives will you discover who is responsible. Work together, think like a detective and race against other teams to reveal the killer before it is too late.
