About This Demo

This is the prologue demo of System Clues.

You found a NexusCore Technologies laptop on the roadside. The boot screen shows NexusBIOS, and the desktop is too clean — this company isn't yours, but what's inside shouldn't be seen. You log in anonymously and start digging.

Before long, you discover the company hides systems that shouldn't be seen: Prometheus AI monitoring every employee, People Analytics profiling people with data, and an anonymous email hinting that finance, surveillance, and performance reviews are all not what they seem.

What identity will you end up with?

What this demo includes:

  • The complete prologue (~70–90 minutes)

  • Immersive desktop OS: terminal, email, chat, browser, task board

  • Realistic terminal gameplay: real commands, combo techniques, phased unlocks, failures raise exposure

  • Multi-source investigation: emails, chats, intranet, evidence board — scattered clues form a chain of evidence

  • 9 distinct endings: from "returning the laptop without touching any data" to "digital terrorist destroys NexusCore"

  • Pressure system with 5-tier surveillance: every aggressive move has a cost

The full game includes all five chapters — a complete 4+ hour investigation. Purchasing the full game continues seamlessly from your prologue progress.
