You take the role of an acoustic investigator who can listen in on past crime scenes. Rather than controlling a character in the events, you observe them from a top-down map as an unseen presence.
Move between rooms and points in a scene’s timeline to hear nearby conversations. Follow different speakers, replay sections, and use what they say to match voices with names and answer questions about each crime.
Cases build a larger mystery alongside their individual investigations. The main game presents five cases, with additional cases available as DLC; the questions and casts can become more involved as you progress.
Players who enjoy the game often praise its unusual audio-led investigation and the way following different conversations can reveal connections, twists, and more involved stories, especially in some DLC cases. Others find the main cases short or straightforward, and say that replaying long stretches of dialogue can become tedious. The lack of subtitles and mixed reactions to voice performances are also recurring concerns.
