Lead intriguing conversations: use the dialogue-mechanic to collect information, find out who is hiding something from you and convince the villagers to help you out.

Make difficult decisions: your decisions have an impact on the course of the story, the world and the villagers. Will you find the right words?


Level up your skills: decide which skills to level up and use them wisely in classic TTRPG / pen'n'paper skillchecks.


Find hidden clues: use the detective-mechanic to find clues and evidence.


Move around in the shadows unnoticed: sneak past enemies and guards to stay unnoticed. Or knock them out from behind.


Defend yourself: if your sneak-mission has failed, you can use the fight-mechanic as a last resort and defend yourself with an old fashioned fist fight.


Craft items to boost your skills: with the things you find in the world you can craft items that will allow you to succeed in difficult skillchecks.


Decide how you want to solve the tasks at hand: With charisma, diplomacy, brute force, the art of stealth or strategic escape? The mission, however, is clear: solve this case!
