About This Game

A short non-linear detective adventure where every clue is hidden in plain sight. Carefully read and cross-reference documents to unravel a CEO’s disappearance and expose a case of fraud.

You're a detective on a case with a twist: the evidence is already in your hands. From the start, you're given a binder of documents and a single objective: solve the mysterious disappearance of a successful CEO. 

There’s no searching for clues or hand-holding. The entire case unfolds through extensive reading and careful analysis. Your only tool is your mind, and every breakthrough comes from your ability to notice connections that others might miss.

Zoolingo is a seemingly thriving startup which is building a pet translation app. After landing a massive round of investor funding, its CEO has vanished. Only a few documents have escaped the shredder. Your job is to meticulously read through every piece of paper.

Reconstruct the identities and roles of the family and employees, uncover motive and opportunity, and expose the fraudulent scheme at the heart of the disappearance.

Features:

  • Non-linear deduction:
    Read through the evidence and follow your own threads of investigation. Progression happens in your mind as you connect clues and form theories.

  • A complex case:
    Exposing the fraudulent operation won't be easy. Discover missing identities, decipher clues from the past, and make logical deductions to crack the case.

  • Deep reading: There is no searching or hunting for hidden clues. All documents are provided throughout the game, and the puzzle is in how you interpret them. Each insight is earned through close attention and logical reasoning.

  • Lots of cute pets:
    Deduce the identities of the employees’ adorable animal companions!
