Trapped in a time loop... Can you solve the unclosed case before it repeats forever?

As investigator Reed, with partner Grant, you enter a house for an apparent murder-suicide: Pike killed Lia, then himself. As you close the file, a spirit strikes—sending you back to the start. Now, gather clues, interrogate, deduce in the Mind Palace, and build timelines. Each loop reveals a new truth.
